Dieu du Ciel Pénombre

On tap at Dieu du ciel. The color is a dark brown with a thick dark beige head. The taste is grainy and bitter, a mix of hops and malt , also added to this is a taste of roasted coffee. This is an I.P.A. mixed with a strong ale as only Dieu du ciel can do.

[1412-20080530] Tap. French vanilla milled soap aroma has a bit of toasted malt. Clear, dark brown red body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head and thick lacing. More French vanilla and faint wood in the flavour with a bitter background. Medium-full body is mildly boozy. Nice, unexpected notables.

A deep clear brown ale with mahogany hues and a thin dark moka head. A nice floral hops in aroma with citrus notes, and nuttyness. In mouth, like a rich rich nutty IPA, with light chocolate notes. If this was a blind tasting, I would have thought this was a regular IPA. On tap at brewpub June 14, 2008.
