Dieu du Ciel Rigor Mortis Abt

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Montreal, Canada

Cloudy mahogany with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and overripe fruits. Flavour had roasted malt, caramel, overripe fruits and choclate notes. Finished sweet.

Part of beerquest 2010. Pour is a deep caramel with sticky lacework. Aroma is sweet doughy malts and fig. Alcohol is def there but is pretty tame for the percentage.. Relatively full but not intense flavors of dark fruits, caramel, yeast.

Dark amber color, hazy; generous head. The aroma has fruity yeast, fudge and dirty water; for the good or for the bad, the aroma is not persistent. The body is quite strong, surely with character; it has caramel flavor, with just a minimal residual sweetness, but at least with a respectable degree of sugar stickiness. The bitterness is decisive, and high for a Belgian style; actually in the end it’s possible to perceive some more roasted malts and the alcohol punch.
Another drinkable but unimpressive offer from Dieu du Ciel, not able to provide emotions.
Have to try it aged one year.

It poured a hazy dark amber liquid with a small dirty white foam. It had a strong smell of yeast, druied fruit, wood and an alcoholic finish that I relate to brandy. The mouthfeel was very smooth and creamy, felt nice in my mouth. The high alcohol made it feel dry though and a bit stingy on the tip of my tounge. It had a thick body and a low bitterness. The flavour was quite strong and the most noticable where dried fruit, yeast, something sweet and an alcoholic finnish. A very good and interesting beer, maybe a bit to alcoholic but besides that I have no complaints. The alcohol wasn’t that intence it was mostly something I felt after taking a sip. Definitely a beer that is worth it’s money

dark clear brown with little carbonation. the aroma is spicy with a little alcohol. sweet raisiny flavor with a sticky bitter aftertaste.

You would like this. It is better than most beers you have had. Not too sweet, yet no bitterness. A good belgian yeast, but has a Dubbel taste to it. Very malty and smooth. Little carbonation, and lacks any off flavors. You get what you expect out of this. When you are sitting on the change piece you don’t need to worry about the heater blowing by you.

355 ml bottle. Rich malty aroma with a hint of red berris, vanilla and black pepper. Sweet sugary malts. High carbonation level. Fizzy and sugary, but with notes of ginger snaps and black pepper. Sweet malty flavours mixed with caramel and dry and herbal flavours, especially spicy dried black pepper. Nicely balanced, but focused towards the herbal angle.

11.5oz bottle. Deep brown-amber color. Head fades out after a minute or into a thin, oily, thin coating. Raisin, plum, fig, and other dark fruit in the aroma, with a touch of orange liqueur. Big and full of flavor, reminiscent of Rochefort 10. Certainly malt centered, with just a touch of initial bitterness. Deep, fruity, yeasty brown sugar finish. This is a world-class beer, with lots of fruit and caramel tones. One of the best Quads out there.
