Dieu du Ciel Grande Noirceur

Draught - tulip. Aged 1.5 years. On tap during the anniversary celebrations in Sept. 06. I think it was possibly the best experience I’ve ever had drinking beer. The only thing stopping me from giving it a solid 5 is that I could, conceivably, have something better someday.

07.09.05 tap at brewpub, RBSG. Black with dark brown head. Aroma is big coffee but also tons of dark, bittersweet chocolate. It’s all creamy love, no overhopped hate. Thick, extra creamy, very, very, very nice all-around brew. Maybe the best balanced impy stout I’ve ever had. Some toasted marshmallow. This is the little brother of Sam Smith’s Impy Stout that’s all grown up and kicking big bro’s butt. For me, it throws a big beat down on Peche Mortel, too. Wow, the highlight of my summer of 2005!

(Gouter en draft au dieu du ciel) Wow! Un look vraiment incroyable avec sont collet tres collant et sont apparance de nuage infinit. Arome d’alcool, dates, ceries noir et de bonbon. En bouche, tout simplement , incroyablement cremeux et tres balancé.

Draft @ DDC. Incredible look that i actually had to take a picture... best description i can give is like if there was dark clouds leading to the very creamy brown head... Great lacing as well.... Presentation A1. Aromas of dates, licorice, black cherries, alcohol, candy, roasted malts and hints of liquid smoke. Palate is extraordinarily and amazingly creamy and well balanced. Thick body... did i say creamy? Flavors are farely sweet and alcohol... simply amazing!

A pitch black beer wtih a lasting brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with light notes of coffee - and in general the aroma is a bit light, but that was just coming off Peche Mortel. The flavor is sweet with coffee dominating, but also with lots of roasted malt. Another nice brew from Dieu du Ciel.
