Nov 21, 2007 At the brewpub, a cross between a Belgium and an old ale. Very cloudy amber with great lacing, yeasty aroma, Full mouthfeel. Very drinkable and tasty. The clear winner here tonight, and it has been around for a fair bit. Some cholate malt. Well crafted.

Oct 5, 2007 Draft at DDC. Wow was this stuff awesome, I drank a bunch of these over the course of several nights and each one was better then the last. It’s rather dark in DDC so this beauty might of been a 5 for appearance but I’d rathat hold back slightly then bump up a rating. Poured a super deep dark brown, almost black, with ,some red hues on the edges and a medium size foamy off white head. Aroma is phenomenal lots of yeast, brwon sugar, dark fruit, banana and a slight touch of bread. Perfect palate mdium-full bodied, light carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. I can’t speak highly enough of this one or for DDC for that matter. I can’t wait for their bottled bers to make it to the U.S.

Aug 30, 2007 Updated: Sep 1, 2007On Tap, 30-Aug-2007 only offered in 12 ounce tulip cups. This beer was not offered when I was there on Monday. Eat your heart out Dorwart.......wish you were here to enjoy this! Pours dark brown with a light tan head. Smells of banana, bread, spice and wood. Taste is sweet and complex. A wonderful mix of fruit. Some prunes and rasins come through. Great mouth feel. The 10% ethanol is well hidden in this gem. This is a complimentde by a generous dose of hops. Possibly the best beer I’ve ever had. Rather than trying another of Dieu Du Ciel!’s fine selection I came back to this beauty.
