We currently stock the V, La Dulcis Succubus and La Buteuse Brassin Special. Each one has tonnes of character, with truly unique flavor profils. Here are our tasting notes.
V (9% ABV) Le Trou Du Diable’s Fifth Anniversary Beer. This is a strong dark ale brewed in very small volume, aged in bourbon barrels, and bottle conditioned. Intense and generous white head, brown mahogany color, rich nose of dark candied fruit. Sherry like oxidation with notes of hazelnuts, toast, toffee, vanilla, and banana. Intense flavors on the palate follow through on from the nose. A gentle warth comes through from the alcohol, with the oaky bourbon character returning on the finish. Only available in bottles this one time, and that is it. The next one will probably be for their 10th anniversary.
La Dulcis Succubus (7.5% abv) . A Wild Saisson Ale or farmhouse style. Aged in French oak barrels that held California desert wine. Nose of floral honey, vanilla and apricot. Rich and generous on the palate with lots of stone fruit and a delicate tart quality on the finish.
La Buteuse Brassin Special (10% abv) Aged for 4 months in Calvados Barrels from a local Cidery. Exuberant nose of fresh baked, cameralized apples and sweet spice. Rich texture on the palate without ever being heavy and cloying. Super long finish, gracefully balanced considering the body and alcohol. Wonderfull!

I have got to say that I highly recommend "V". It's a bit pricey, but after having it we immediately decided we needed another bottle to drink and another to cellar. In the three days it took me to get back to the store for more, I was quite worried that there would not be any left
We have a few of the V left. I agree with you, they are definitely not cheap but worth trying for a special treat. My favourite is the La Buteuse Brassin which we are now unfortunately out of stock on.
