Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

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

Bottle from AJ’s in Scottsdale courtesy of nbutler11. Thanks, Lt. I will say first that as the only sub-4 rating on this page I am sorry. This is a great beer that I am not interested in having again because frankly Founder’s BA Kentucky Breakfast eats this beer’s lunch in terms of coffee content and overall excitement. The presiding feature of Peche is the aroma of instant coffee crystals. I respect the hell out of the texture, which is very course, but for me this was very one-note.

Poured from an 11.5oz bottle and served in a snifter. This stout poured an opaque black with some cola colored highlights around the edges of the glass. A thick, spongey head of dark tan foam lingered for a bit, then settled into a thin, lasting layer. Excellent lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of freshly ground coffee, molasses, and also some caramelized sugar. The flavor was rich and bold. High-quality French roast coffee dominated, but notes of bittersweet chocolate, caramel, and molasses showed up as well. Not really any noticable alcohol. Delicious! The mouthfeel was full-bodied and had light carbonation. Creamy smooth. This one’s all about the coffee, but there are enough other elements going on to make this highly enjoyable. If you love coffee, this stout’s for you.

Very dark black with faint ruby hues. On top sits a rich frothy brown head. Looks devilish. Coffee, of course, in the aroma, but tons of complexity as well. Molasses, chocolate, soy sauce, brown sugar, anise, brownie batter and very light alcohol. The taste is predominately coffee and espresso, but the rich flavors of roasted malts blends perfectly. Lots of molasses and bittersweet chocolate. The lingering alcohol burn in the chest is quite welcome. Overall this is fantastic, one of the best coffee brews to ever cross my lips.

Bottled: a simply delicious imperial stout! Pours a dark color with a big tan head. Smells of roasted coffee beans and tastes of sweetly roasted malts and coffee, that lasts on the palate. A great beer!

Bottle, pours a black beer with a huge tan creamy head. Aroma is pure coffee, roast and chocolate. Flavor is a clean taste of coffee and sweet malt with complex notes of roast and a great smoothness. This is a very nice suprise from TikiE. Very simalar to the Wake & Bake, maybe better

Think stong chocolate coffee aroma. Pours think with a nice head. Very stong coffee nose. Not a session beer. Great desert beer. Great match with chocolate.

A beautiful pour, it is black, thick, and substantial with a two toned head of tan and brown. Two fingers in size. Aroma is iced coffee with roasted notes, whiskey, and dark fruit. Flavor is delicious and complex. Strong coffee, dark chocolate, alcohol, raisins. Feel is smooth and powdery. Flavors welded together beautifully as temp rose. This beer is incredibly well crafted and is absolutely delicious. A world class effort.

Bottle. Black color with a lasting brown head. Aroma: Roastiness, espresso, a bit of sweetness and caramel. Flavor: Roastiness/bitterness, lots of coffee/espresso, some chocolate as well. The alcohol is mostly hidden. Creamy and dry mouthfeel. Very nice if you are a stout and coffee fan.
