DocLock (4102), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy coppery with ruby edges and 2-fingers of uniform, off-white head and great lacing. The aroma is heavy piney hops, grapefruit, mango, caramel malt, black pepper. The taste is caramel malty, piney hoppy, with mango, grapefruit, honeydew, and a massive fresh ground black pepper flavor. Not nearly as pronounced as the route des epices, but perhaps more black peppery flavor than I have ever experienced in an IPA, and man, does it work with this one. The complexity and balance are off the charts, and this one was one of the most unique, exciting IPAs I’ve had in a long time. If everything from Dieu Du Ciel is this good, I may have to move to Canada. Frankie_boy (12), ste-justine, Quebec, Canada May 30, 2008 L’une des meilleures IPA qu’il m’a été donner de boire jusqu’à présent. Une bière houblonnée à souhait qui ne vous décevra pas côté amertume, si c’est ce que vous recherchez. SSSteve (1527), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Aug 14, 2008 murky amber beer with a large creamy beige head. big, wet, fresh, resiny pine-citrus hop aroma with spicy caramel malts. flavor is loaded with chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, piney hops, mint, licorice, and other spices. balanced perfectly. impressive brewery. robinvboyer (1003), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Mar 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 23, 2008330 ml bottle.
very dark amber pour with a really nice beige head.
Great aroma if citrucy hops, and grapefruit. Flavour is very hoppy, loads of grapefruit, and some malt, somehwat unblanced but if you love hops, you willlove this!!!! nearbeer (1235), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jun 2, 2008 11.5 oz. Clear red-copper with a two-finger, creamy head that lasts. Earthy caramel, cocoa, and fruit aroma. Taste is similarly sweet but with more grain and toasted nut. Slightly bitter ending has some citrus and resin that leaves a dried wood taste on the finish. Medium body is mostly smooth and finishes dry. Very nice, but just too damn expensive in down-South retail stores ($4.50/single).
