Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque

Bottle at home. Pours black with a beige head. Quite sweet with strong aromas of coccoa, roasted malts and chocolate. Hints of vanilla. Medium bodied with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Dry and sweet finish with more coacoa and roasted malts.

Very surprised this showed up at the local store, almost like magic. First non challant sip hits pretty nicely and lets you know you are in for a treat. A faint roasted malt aroma with a touch of wood working. Flavor is really nice with a toast malt and bittersweet chocolate flavor at first that fades very smoothly into a sweet vanilla flavor all finished off with a nice sweetness. Damn a fine beer with an evolving and smooth palate.

12 oz. bottle aquired in trade from Daknole- holy cow, thanks!!! Served in shaker- poured non transparent darker than midnight in a heavy thunderstorm black, low carbonation, thin white ring around the glass for a head. Aroma of a dark roasted malt, vanilla, whiskey, and sin. Hits the mouth with a very wide body, malt has been roasted just to the cusp of burnt- but was quickly saved, light vanilla and baker’s dark chocolate come in the middle and stay until the finish- which does not seem to stop, heavy lingering. The perfect compliment to some cigars and a cool Texas evening.

Bottle shared by Odeed. Nose of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. Black with a medium cinnamon tan head. Flavor was vanilla, chcolate, light bitterness, and a very light coffee note.

Bottle pours black with thin tan head that whisps away immidiately. Aroma is vanilla bean and semi sweet cocoa. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Flavors are vanilla and cocoa dominating. Its a pretty solid beer. I thought there would be more depth to this as it seems 2 dimensional. Still a pleasure to drink.

bottle. thanks to 17thfloor for this! pours black with creamy tan head. a big vanilla forward aroma with espresso. flavors are a bit astringent roasty notes, sweet vanilla, coffee and baker’s milk chocolate. medium bodied with a silky mouth feel. i was expecting a fuller body which would help this and is probably why it is likely better on nitro. why am I just now finding out this beer is made with vanilla beans? so if you like vanilla a lot then this would be your thing.

12 oz bottle. Poured dark brown/black in color with a thin tan head that left little lacing on the glass. Aroma of hot chocolate mix (powder), light vanilla. Tastes of cocoa powder mix, milk chocolate, vanilla. Finishes with a darker bitter chocolate. Very drinkable brew. Very nice.
