Dec 7, 2009 Pours a jet black with a minimal head and leaves very sticky lacing.... Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla extract with alcohol... More vanilla aroma than chocolate... Flavors are quite rich, roasty with vanilla again dominating the chocolate and coffee flavors, with notes of smoke... Very much a dessert beer, very complex... Not too thick while still being quite sticky though not that sweet... medium bodied, medium full mouthfeel, not as roasty as expected. somewhat dry finish, and a touch of lingering bitterness... Very outstanding stout, just a bit too much vanilla for me...

Dec 7, 2009 Poured dark brown with a nice tan head, some minor lacing. Aroma is really nice mix of vanilla, roasted malt, chocolate. Great stuff. Taste is really nice mix of roasted malt, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, light bitter notes as well. Mouth is full and creamy, full bodied brew. Overall, an awesome beer.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a viscous near-black with a low dense tan cap. Intense chocolatey and coffee aromas, faint hints of stewed fruits. sweet, silky, chocolatey palate, with burnt malt bitterness and coffee and dark fruity elements as well. God am I glad I can buy this in Alberta! This will join McAuslen as a permanent member of my fridge stock.

Dec 5, 2009 From bottle. Lovely black colour with a frothy tan head. Very appealing looking beer. Great aroma. Chocolate , coffee malt aroma. Rich flavours of chocolate. Almost like a col cappuccino. Delicious flavours. Sharp bitter finish. Rich texture. Very enjoyable.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle. Deep dark inky beer with a wisp of a tan head. Nose was sweet milk chocolate and a nice roasted cocoa bitterness. Flavor was a little underwhelming, sweet chocolate again ni the front, a big slug of vanilla and a lightly btter coffee at the end. Finish is a little sticky, and more of the vanilla. It was good, but the nice roasty/bitter nose didn’t play in the taste much. Had it - I think this would be a really nice one. As it is, a well done beer.

Dec 2, 2009 Pours pitch black, mocha head, nice cocoa aroma. Tastes very chocolate with a distinct vanilla aftertaste. Notes of roast and slight alcohol. Finishes sweet and very neat. If this were imperial it would ruin it. Awesome beer.

Dec 2, 2009 Another excellent brew from Dieu du Ciel. Poured from a 11.2oz bottle into a standard pint glass at 50 degrees. Impressive, tight collar on this one. Aromas are dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla. Great mouth feel and very smooth.
