Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

On tap at Dieu Du Ciel. Black with dense brown head. Huge Coffee, molasses and cocoa aroma and taste. Flavors meld together perfectly. Very sweet but strong vibrant black coffee flavor keeps the sweetness from cloying. Thick smooth body with soft mouthfeel. Bitter finish comes from the coffee instead of the hops.

11.5 oz. Big, lasting cappuccino foam on this black beer. Aroma is espresso and the just-brewed grounds, and some char. Flavor is mocha with extra dark-roasted coffee, brown sugar, a touch of cream, char, chicory, caramel, and slight metallic herb. Later some cured tobacco. Large body is smooth, sticky, lightly tingly, and just dry enough. Very nice, but for the price ($5.50/single) there are several others more worthy.

12oz bottle from new beer distributors in manhattan. dark brown color with a medium pillowy brown head that stick around. roasted coffee and chocolate aroma. expected coffee flavor with a moderately bitter ashy aftertaste. also some nuttiness in the taste. palate is medium to thin - but is still creamy. as a coffee lover, this one was right up my alley. K-8

Bottle. Pitch black with a dense lasting cappuccino coloured head. Aroma is heavily roasted with ashy notes of smoke. Notes of coffee and licorice are to find in the aroma aswell. Thick and oily texture. Warming alcohol. Flavours of burnt malt, coffee, licorice and some smoke. Well crafted brew!

12 oz. bottle courtesy of illinismitty. Pours black with a med/large pillowy tan head that leaves a fuzzy lace on the glass. The aroma is roasted coffee with bittersweet chocolate. The flavor is similar with roasted coffee or even espresso being blended with sweet chocolate, dark fruits, and the slightest bit of ash. This is smooth drinking from start to finish. The alcohol is only noticable as a warming sensation while drinking, not in the flavor. One of the best coffee stouts I have had.

Bottle. (Bottled on Nov. 7th 2007.) Many, many, many thanks to tronraner. I wasn’t able to visit Montreal during the winter season, as my original plan. I was bummed. So, I am extremely grateful for this moment. The pour is quite opaque with hints of light passing through around the thinner edges creating a burgundy hue. The head is a long-lasting tan head that creates decent lacing. The aroma is very roasty in coffee as well as strong hints of molasses and toffee. There are some slight sour and tangy notes. The mouth-feel is very viscous with some fine carbonation and slight oiliness. The flavour, wow... it’s packed with coffee and lightly sweetened cocoa. Toffee is pretty predominant as well. The tanginess is much more subtle in the flavour than it was in the aroma. The finish is very smooth and slightly bitter. Coffee and cocoa flavours linger for quite some time. Overall, this is very balanced. It’s very delicious. Ah, this is quite amazing.

Pours jet black with a milk chocolate head. Intense roasted coffee nose to this one. A bitterness, intense dark roast coffee and just a great beer all the way around. The alcohol is very well hidden with the other massive flavors that come to the forefront

This is a masterful stout. Aroma is malt and coffee. Pours black with huge frothy head. Tons of lacing. Mouthfeel is thick and lush. Fairly high carbonation. Flavor is coffee and chocolate malt - not as complex as others (similar to Founders Breakfast Stout) but great for any coffee lover.
