| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 5, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Pitch Black, very creamy beige head - looks about as good as a pint can get! Mild aroma - some roast, a little sweet, but rather disappointing. Very flavourful nitro stout - tons of roast, dry, nice touch of bitterness. Chocolate notes emerged as it warmed. Mild session type stout - a perfect sipper after I stupidly walked up from the Eaton Centre in cold snowy conditions. My first Dieu De Ciel! Siroy (220), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A mostly lasting average creamy brown head that tops up a hazy very dark black body. Heavy lacing. No visible particules. (beer is too dark to tell) Heavy filtration. Aroma presents malt being heavy burnt coffee/chocolate while hops are very faint earthy. Also, there are faint notes of licorice . Initial flavor is heavily acetic coffee and bitter chocolate while development is toasted bread like. moderate Finish is very long . medium body... but watery (?) intial texture that gets more rounded after a few seconds (that’s wierd, i know) Soft carbonation...
My favorite when they dont have the Peché Mortel. erway (1002), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 8, 2006 Pours opaque with a nitro-whipped brown head. The aromas have notes of dark chocolate, coffee and earthy hops. The body is just plain big. The flavors might be a bit one-dimensional wih really nothing out of the ordinary for a stout, the fullness of flavor is quite extraordinary. Tons of caramel and burnt toast round the beer out. The finish is very dry especcially considering the body. Great beer. Best nitro beer I have ever had. Ungstrup (15336), Frederiksberg, Denmark

Aroma is roasted coffee, chocolate and nuts, black, medium sized coffee head, lot’s of lace. Flavour is espresso, strong malt and some hops. Well balanced, very full bodied, especially since this was draught, nicely bitter. Fantastic!
