Dieu du Ciel Dernière Volonté

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Belgian Ale
Montreal, Canada

11.5 oz. bottle. Pours a very hazy gold with a thin-moderate linen white head that faded to a thick ring after the first two sips and lingered to the end, leaving partial lace. There are a lot of white chunks floating about, not just some little specks but fairly substantial pieces as well. It really doesn’t look all that appetizing. The aroma is very nice with lots of Belgian yeast, lemon, and floral notes. The flavor is nowhere near as bright and lovely as the aroma. Initially, there is some muted Belgian yeast, however, this is overrun by a considerable dose of hot black pepper. Hot, bitter and very dry at the finish. This beer is definitely not for me.

Golden orangish in color, cloudy look, and has a pretty decent off white head. The smell is a little grass, spices, fruits, flowers, and yeast. The taste is a grassy hop, fruits, yeast, very belgian.

12 oz bottle. Hazy blonde in color with a medium to large lasting white head. Aroma is phenolicy, bready, and earthy belgian yeast with a touch of esters, vanilla and earthy hops. Taste is lightly estery and moderately phenolic with alot of bready pils malt, mild citrus, vanilla. Moderately hoppy with a smooth bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, slightly creamy texture. This one of the best belgian pales I’ve had.

Tasting - Perfect Pour - Hazed gold, creamy white head. Floral banana and soft peppered coriander aromas ride undercurrents of grassy yeasty pear tones. Spiced fruity wheat-like flavors mingle with hints of sugared bread and earthy grass. Very well balanced from start to finish. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, light peppery sweet finish. A very nice summer brew....

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy light gold with very large, sticky, off-white head. The aroma is spicy, with some ripe mango, lemon zest, sweet bread, and coriander. The flavor starts off on a peppery note, then comes that mango again, with some strong, earthy spice. The finish is zesty with some yeasty and peppery notes that linger for a while. Pretty tasty beer.

Hazy orange with a large head that lasts and coats the glass. Aroma is coriander, pepper, yeast, somewhat fruity. Medium bodied, high carbonation that somehow works. Typical flavors with high carbonation, kinda interesting. Nice appearance though. Rerate: not a 5 for appearance. Dropped it down.

RBSG 2005 at DDC: Golden yellow body with a small white head. Weed, ginger and cut grass in the aroma. Flavor is all over the place- honey sweetness, weeds, hops, and ginger. A little banana also. Pretty sweet finish. Strange but good.

Great beer. Bottle. Poured into Chimay goblet. Pours a beautful gold with nice frothy head. Spicy aroma full of coriander, herbal, floral, lavender?, hops. Taste is almost medicinal, herbal, peppery then hoppy. Finishes off with a nice sweet malt finish. Nice full creamy mouthfeel. Great beer. Shelton Brothers get this beer out there
