UPDATED: FEB 2, 2010 on tap at DDC. thick black with a creamy tan nitro head. lots of lacing. aroma is of rich dark malts, nuts, chocolate. the taste has some oak, coffee and sweet chocolate. very good imperial stout, but will always be next to péché mortel on the menu.

Dark one with a brown head. The vanilla smell is very strong but light aromas of hazelnuts are detectable.Holala, intense tastes of vanilla, roast almonds and nuts are dancing on my tongue. One of the best Imperial Stout ever. Dieu du Ciel encore BRAVO.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: DEC 13, 2011 [on tap at brewpub]
Tons of roasted barley in the aroma that gives a sort of bubblegum accent. Also a touch of vanilla. Almost opaque brown-black covered by lasting beige flannel. Velvety prune-mocha flavour that begins sweet, evolves to a dark malt bitterness and finishes with hazelnut. Smooth feel, moderate hops bitterness, low carbonation.
Re-rate of 2-year old bottle at brewpub:
Potent roasty character in the nose with some bourbon and vanilla along with black malt bubblegum and mocha-raisin accenting a chocolate brownie (8). Opaque, thick black appearance under a thin, brown cover (3). Smooth espresso and chocolate flavour that develops into bitter chocolate that is in perfect balance. Notes of chocolate fudge brownie with smoked hazlenuts and a touch of toasted coconut (9). Medium to full body, warming, with a bitter finish (3). Overall (18). Final score: 4.2

Pitch dark with a thick moka head. Nose of sweet chocolate and plums. Wow! What a great stout it is! Full bodied, with loads of bittersweet chocolate, a bit of roastiness, so creamy, a real dessert. I don’t know if the fact that it was a 2 years old sample is really different than from younger examples, but this was close to nirvana.
I prefer by far this one to the péché mortel.

Probably the best imperial stout available in Quebec but not in bottle, only on tap at DDC on rue Laurier. Less coffee-aggressive than Peche Mortel, so smooth in taste and texture that it is hard to guess that this is a 8,5% ABV (I think it was written 9,5% on the board). Great bitterness in the aftertaste. God, do tap do good to stout!

Dégusté à la brasserie et dégusté en fût à la brasserie dans un verre tulippe avec un % d’alcool à 9%. De couleur noir collante et épaise. L’arômes de la bière en cask était supérieur et beaucoup plus houblonné, même chose au gôut. L’arôme en fût était crémeuse, chocolaté avec une touche de noisette. Une carbonation parfaite, un style et d’un côté comme de l’autre en cask ou en fût, elle offre 2 bières d’une grande distinctions qui mérites des mentions honorifiques. Avoir à choisir entre les deux serais un choix difficile et encore plus avec la chance dans dégusté une vieilli en bouteille. Une bière avec un profile de cave très élevé. Deux fois bravo! bientôt trois....

DDC Draft. Black body with a tan head. Lots of bitter chocolate, vanilla, carmel sweet taste. Etoh is noticable in a fruit like flavor complementing the chocolate. Real Good. .
