Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Imperial Stout
Montreal, Canada

Pours black with an almost nonexistent beige head. Aroma is coffee and light smoke. Flavor is smoke, coffee, roast malt, and coffee. Very smooth and drinkable.

Black body no light penetration, very nice ¼” long lasting brown cap with very impressive roapy lacing. I just jizzed my pants smelling this aroma, its so rich and smooth. Malts smell dark and smoky and are balanced perfectly with sweet syrupy coffee. I can’t believe how awesome the aroma is, it’s not in your face or mild, it’s not a coffee bomb or a smoke house it just has everything in perfect balance, I also pick up strawberries in cream. POW punch to the face with massive flavour. Smooth, smooth smoky malts and a perfect coffee presence this brew is actually very sweet but has an intense bitterness in the aftertaste that lingers for a very long time. I just burped up a piney hop flavor. Just like in the aroma I’m picking up strawberry in the background. Dam I can’t get over how thick and smooth this beer is, I can’t tell there is any alcohol in this let alone the 10%. Drink this beer!!!! Drink it right now, drink it often.

Bottle from Half-Time. I’ve been waiting and wanting to try this beer for a long time and I was not disappointed. Pours an obsidian black body with a medium sized tan head. Good vanilla, coffee, chocolate and roasted malty aroma. Creamy, full bodied mouthfeel. Coffee, mocha and bitter flavor. Again some great roasted coffee maltiness. Slight alcohol finish. Really great beer!

wow! what a great beer. poured at about 5 deg celcius from a bottle to a maudite glass, this beer holds the black. no light bleeding through. the head is a nice tan. thick and creamy. isn’t sustained too well, however. diminishes to thin rather quickly. aroma rapes your nostrils with coffee and black chocolate. malts have a strong toasted scent. tickles my nose. after the first sip, i feel a sweetness. the bitter dark chocolate is present, but not overwhelming. the aftertaste is quite prominent, however not hated. you can feel this sh*t warming your stomach! besides the gut warming awesomeness, no presence of alcohol. this beer is super!

Great coffee flavor, with a hint of chocolate. Sweet yet pleasantly bitter at the same time. Pure black. Even putting it up to a lamp doesn’t let light shine through. The only color comes from the thick, creamy, light brown head. The alcohol is only apparent by the affect on your senses, not by the taste. I’ll get this again for sure!

Really a great coffee flavour. I found it impossible not to take large gulps of this beer. Although coffee is the prominent flavour by far it is very interesting and complex and keeps you wanting more. A great beer.

Pours very dark, thick brown and sits black in the glass with a small dark tan head. The aroma is loads of coffee grounds, burnt roasted malt, a little bit of chocolate, and a hint of anise. The flavor starts out sweet and, once swallowed, fades into a deep coffee bitterness. Creamy but light on the palate, with more than usual carbonation.
