Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

Bottle. Frothy brown head, dark brown body. Aroma is sweet coffee, vanilla. Big coffee taste, with nice roasted notes and a bitter finish. Nice soft, bubbly mouthfeel. Coating texture, long aftertaste.

We’ve got a foamer! Light brown head that just won’t quit. Black body. Chocolate torte cake aroma with stale burnt french press coffee notes. It it was a bit sweeter it’d get a higher score but the burnt notes detract it a bit. Medium viscosity. Nicely sweet chocolate/coffee flavor. Bit of blueberry/raspberry syrup as well as green hops, too. Quite roasty. A pretty damn good beer (4.0 ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at) but the coffee isn’t that exiciting. Thanks Chuck for sharing this rarity!

i finally get this off my wishlist (originally put on 9/18/2006) ... from LS .. lots of chocolate, tobacco, and coffee aroma’s ... great brad pitt lacing ... it really coats the mouth so wonderfully .. very nice aftertaste ... is roasty and has an espresso/ chocolate battle going on ... not overdone, but very bold .. a great brew!

Pours a nice dark brown color with a brown head. Aroma is malty, coffee, ash, roast, and some brown sugar. Flavor is malty, roasty, coffee, ash, brown sugar, and a light bitter finish.

Bottle. A black beer with a nice brown head. Aroma is coffee all the way with some roasted malts in the background. Flavour is cold espresso with chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Its fantastic. Very creamy cocoa like palate. I need more of this.

Bottle. Milk chocolate aroma with some richness. Pretty much completely opaque. Would be clear if you could see it. Huge rootbeer float head. Perfect appearance. Dark tan head. Unbelievably outstanding brew. Can tell there’s some alcohol but it is somewhat hidden. Smooth, but with a ton a flavor. Worth $17? If any beer is, this one’s close. Could they charge less? Yes, but by limiting production they increase demand and the high price makes people interested. It doesn’t appear they have any trouble moving it.

Bottle (brewed 11/07): Near black pour with a large, creamy brown head. Tons of lacing. Aroma is rich with coffee, bits of chocolate and roast. Flavor is true of a coffee stout. Bigtime coffee flavors, light chocolates, and bits of roast. Light smokiness. What I like best was what wasn’t there; that bitter/sour coffee grounds kick of lesser coffee stouts. Very pleasant. Top tier coffee stout. Thanks Ucusty!

2005 bomber from Adrian. Thanks. I have wanted to try this forever sinec I can remember when it used to be draft only. Pours out a dark black color with a tan head on it. Smell is coffee. More coffee. And then, just a tad more coffee. Some chocolate seems to make its way through as well. Taste is like drinking a rich cup of coffee with 9.5% alcohol in it. This thing had me on the ceiling after I drank the whole bomber of it. I would recommend sharing this with someone, as I didnt go to bed until 4am after drinking this. A fantastic beer though, perhaps not worthy of its 18 dollar price tag, but its still a damn nice beer that I wouldnt mind having a few more bottles of.
