And the Quebec beer website Bieres et Plaisirs ran a story the other day that mentions the Winter release, a lager called Oakhouse that Google Translate tells me will be "specially aged with oak accents and lightly roasted vanilla":

"Roasted" vanilla?
Not Quite

Spécialement vieillie avec du chêne légèrement torréfié et aux accents de vanille,

Specially aged with light roasted oak and vanilla accents
Yeah, as I said, that was the Google translation I quoted. Not surprised it was slightly off, they're rarely perfect.
