Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

Bottle shared with kleyland. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it sitting on the shelf at Green’s. Pours a dark black color. Thin, light brown head. The aroma is 100% coffee. Creamy body. Flavor is rich, roasted coffee. Just a delightfully delicious beer.

Pours a opaque brown/black with a nice dark head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and is sweet. Flavor is of a blend of caramel, chocolate, coffee, dried fruits, and is very sweet at first with a very bitter and pleasant clean and crisp finish. Excellent beer.

22 oz. bottle courtesy of my SecretSanta. Bottled on: 11/04. An opaque black pour with a HUGE fluffy brown head that lasts and lasts and leaves thick rings of lacing. More coffee in the aroma than any other beer I’ve had thus far. Lots of chocolate pudding and some vanilla and alcohol in there too. My girlfriend says it smells like a fresh espresso. It’s amazing and truly unique. A good bit of coffee and chocolate in the flavor too. Lots of sweet roasty, toasty malts start off and transition to some rich chocolate, nuts and cocoa. Finishes with a nice bitter black coffee/hoppiness that lingers. The high ABV is hidden very well. An excellent beer that’s unlike anything I’ve had before.

Pours a rather opaque black color with a thick and creamy tan head. Great lacing. Aroma is at once strongly alcoholic and full of dark-roast. I also picked up notes of brown sugar. Rich and slightly chocolatey coffee flavor is a true joy to sip on. Coffee lingers for minutes on my tastebuds after every sip. A slight overcarbonation keeps the palate from being perfect but doesn’t really hinder my enjoyment of this beer. I highly suggest that people send this beer to me daily so that I can further analyze it.

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.

Courtesy mcbackus. Poured black with a light tan head. Great aroma - strong bitter coffee and roasted malts. Quite a different scent than most other coffee stouts, but I can’t quite say how. The taste is smooth with the coffee bitterness and roastiness building up to the finish, which is super dry and holds a lot of coffee taste. One of the better coffee stouts I’ve had. Thanks Matt!

Bottle. Strannge but interesting label. Creamy high light brown lasting head leaving nice curtains. Body blacker than pitch black. No light allowed through here. Coffee aroma it is indeed. Flavor not surprisingly also coffee with a mild and smooth mouthfeel, fair amount of hops bitterness lwo carbonation and a long aftertaste. 9.5% alcohol very well hidden. Man its good.

On tap at Deep Ellum. Black body with dark brown chalky hues at the edges. A dark tan head that is both creamy and loose seals in all that coffee goodness. Nose is roasty and full of espresso notes. Flavors of dry dark chocolate, rich oily espresso, some hazelnut and lots of chewy thick malts. The bitter coffee flavors are really strong and welcoming and the sugars seem to dry up at the end of each sip. The only knock I have is that the pallate falls a little short. It gives up and doesn’t have that sharp espresso bite that challenges my tongue. Would I like this beer more aggressive? I guess that is what I am saying. But, damn, this is a very nice brew.
