Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

Pours black with a brown/tan frothy slowly dissapating head. Smells somewhat strongly of coffee, chocolate, and hints of caramel. Has a sweet/powerful taste of coffee, coffee and coffee. There is also flavors of coffee beans, hints of chocolate and a little caramel but hard to notice as the coffee really takes charge in the flavor. Very rich, complex, tasty, well balenced, smooth and creamy. I’ve never had a stout quite like this one, as it is very unique. If you love coffee/expresso’s you must try this brew!!!! One of the best brews I’ve had in a long time I must. Wow...

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours a tan head and a dark brown body. Smells of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Finish is bitter coffee and delicious.

Black with a frothy brown head. Coffee, mocha, cream, ripe fruit, and choc aroma. Taste is coffee, nut and alc. Very creamy thick and rich texture. Coffee finish.

( 12oz bottle) Pours a deep brownish/black with perfect dark brown 2 finger head that sticks around a nice long while. Laces the glass extremely well, and looks almost perfect for the style. Smell is really nice. Loads of semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels, deep espresso/dark coffee notes, some roastiness although at a minimum. Dominant on the chocolate as it warms. Taste follows the nose, but even better than expected. As it’s cold it’s actually more bitter than I prefer, but as it warms to room temperature there is a lot of complexity here. Dark chocolate notes meld with cocoa nibs, the fair trade coffee as mentioned on the label is prominent and lingers on the palette in a nice way, and as it warms to room temperature the chocolate takes over and it is superbly balanced. I wish I’d drank the whole bottle at room temperature. Could finish slightly creamier on the finish. Coats the mouth almost like none other, and a carbonation that is so intense it dances across the tongue. Really perfection here.

A nose of sawdust, regular dust, coffee, vanilla and fertilizer(!) Taste is of vanilla, grinded coffeebeans, sugar and dark chocolate. It’s dusty and roasted, but also sweet and bitter. A contender in the category of " best coffee stout ", only beaten by Mikkeller BGBW.

Subtle notes of licorice, coffee, and red fruits on the nose. The coffee is very evident , and delicious. This is one very good beer. The palate feels just like the way it looks, used motor oil, with just the right amount of carbonation. Not for the faint of heart,, but i’d recommend this to any stout lover.
