Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Imperial Stout
Montreal, Canada

Pours a dark black. Not quite as dark as most imp stouts, but you can only tell during the pour. Rich, creamy head. Dark tan with OK staying power with thick lacing. Nose is heavy of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Coffee definitely dominates. First sip is a slap of coffee in the face. Nutty and rich. Kind of oaky. Thick on the palate. Carbonation sparkles a bit, but the bitter coffee helps calm it. Overall amazing beer. Definitely a sipping beer and MUCH better as it warms.

bottle graciously bonused from sigma23. poured dark brown with a beige head. aroma was chocolate syrup, coffee, alcohol, and a sharp spice. flavor was the same but had a pleasant bitter to go along with it. good stuff.

Tastes of coffee and vanilla, finished off with wonderfull bitternes that goes on forever.

Bottle. Pours black with a small short lived beige head. The aroma is filled with coffee and chocolate. The taste is where the coffee is really pronounced it is by far the strongest taste, there is still some chocolate though, and some noticeable alcohol flavour as well. This beer is quite smooth, it is really just a great experience to drink it.

Bottle. Pours a black liquid with a beige, creamy head. Aroma is very roasted and a bit sweet with a hint of vanilla, lots of coffee and some green notes of salad and asparagus. Taste is roasted with some sweet notes of honey and vanilla, a hint of vegetables and a lot of coffee, especially in the finish. Heavy roasted bitterness. Really good.

This is the best Canadian stout I have ever had, hands down, the best, no question. Pours a motor oil black with a short lived off white head. The aroma is big on black, premium roast coffee, espresso, lightly acidic, spicy, chocolaty, delicious, lighter notes of old suitcases and anise. The flavour follows suit, big on the high end espresso, bit of leather, chocolate, roastiness, light acidity, a very subtle note of licorice, ends with more espresso. This beer is the bee’s knees of coffee stouts, I mean there are some really good coffee stouts out there, but this is the first one where the characteristics of the coffee really shine through, so good, I would say it rivals Southern Tier’s Jah-Va stout. Top Notch

Bottle. Poured black with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with espresso and a bit of acidic roasty malt. The flavor is as awesome as I could ever expect from a coffee beer. It has a high quality espresso taste backed up with chocolate and toasty malt stout flavor. Overall, this is a very biting, bitter, rich beer. It has a noticable alcohol warmth at the end and a rich, slightly oily feel in your mouth. Very, very good. I enjoyed this immensely with pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream today.

This brew I bought it yesturday(1st time evering seeing it)new only the pic and % bringing it home. I score it 3/5 Nice cremal? chocolate and roasted coffee taste(yummy),but it’s dry and that make’s it loast a .5 I wish it were a little moist on the lips other wise it’s gr8t. The % is felt near the end cus bottle is little and for me I tryed a Wellington County Dark ale(and reviewed on this site)5%beer 473ml can b4 so it leav’s a long lasting yummy taste in mouth,but need’s to be less dry and I am NOT sober peace!
