Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

12oz bottle thanks to Hophead22. Pours an impenetrable black with a thick mocha head. Aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. If you’ve ever had chocolate covered coffee beans, that’s what Péché Mortel smells like. Flavors of bitter chocolate, coffee, and dark roasted malts. Full bodied and nicely carbonated. Alcohol is well hidden. Thanks Again Tim.

Rating 300! Bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham. Pours almost opaque black with a thick, tan head that has good retention and magnificent lacing. Aromas of cocoa powder, dark unsweetened chocolate, roasted coffee, and vanilla. Taste is well balanced and not too sweet or bitter. Lots of roasted malt and coffee with a background of dry hops. Burnt sugar and roasty finish with some spicy alcohol. This is the least artificial smelling and tasting coffee stout I have tried. Very natural in every way. Alcohol is beautifully masked. Excellent!

Black with a thick tan head. Aroma is mocha, cocoa, chocolate, and roasted malts. Taste is of chocolate and cappuccino.

11.5 oz bottle. Black pour with a large khaki head. Rich aroma of coffee up front, vanilla, chocolate, dark fruits. Flavor is coffee, vanilla, chocolate, toffee. Very deep and satisfying flavor. Lingering bitter coffee and hops. This is a wonderful, creamy coffee stout.

Bottle. Smoked, slightly ashen dark chocolate aroma. Opaque black, big creamy brown head. Very strong roasted entry, rich dark chocolate, orangepeel. Mellow dry mouthfeel. Smoked/roasted retronasal with hints of port. Quite the flavor.

This beer poured almost completely black with a generous tan head that lasted a long time. The aroma was dominated by the smell of coffee with chocolate also coming through. The taste was similar and balanced well and also had a bit of a nutty taste. Mouthfeel was proper for a stout. Drinkability was high for a beer of this abv.

Premier embouteillage au Québec en Septembre 2007. Dégusté dans un verre tulipe de dieu du ciel. Évidemment à une température de cellier. D’une apparence brune profonde tirant sur le noir avec une faible carbonation, de léger dépôt et une belle mousse brune. Une senteur de café espresso, de vanille légèrement torréfié et de chocolat au lait. Je dirais plus précisément qu’elle dévoilent une senteur de caramel et de vanille française avec un soupçon de mélasse. Un goût bien gazéfier avec une bonne amertume, une rondeur en bouche et sur les gencives. Du chocolat, du café, un peu de caramel et surtout de la qualité. Cette bière offre aussi un vieillissement exceptionnel car j’ai eu la chance de dégusté celle-çi au 10e de dieu du ciel âgé de 2001 et 2002. Encore meilleure me demanderai vous! hors du commun, je suis resté bouche bée! Mais encore une fois des moments comme ceux-çi sont difficillement possible dans exprimer et dans communiquer une notes.

beer 2 on the 4 day trip. This rating originally written by campfire and moon light. Wonderful nose of pears plums and coffee. Extremely dark pour. Great lacing throughout. Sweet dark fruit up front, taste of pears and apple with coffee in the aftertaste, with light burnt malt.has a light alcohol finish. Fantastic.
