Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

Dark with a tan head and thick lacing. Intense coffee aroma, really nothing else gets through. Theres a nicely brewed stout underneath, but its crowded out by massive amounts of coffee, I was warned, but I was hoping they were overstating things. I’m not a coffee drinker but I love overtones of it in a beer, but this is not a beer with tones of coffee it is a cup of coffee with tones of beer. If I were to rater this on ratecoffee.com it might well get a perfect 5, but here it doesnt cut it. There is no subtlety, no complexity, just coffee. I am really surprised this is ranked so high, it has little that I am looking for.

Nose is dark fruit, and alcohol. Pours thick black with thin tan head. Smoky like coffee, and with a distinctive coffee flavor. Powerful smoked malt taste (even though there isn’t any in there) and strong in coffee - the perfect coffee stout. Finishes clean and crisp, despite its motor oil characteristics.

Trade bottle from ygtbsm94. Been anxious to open this one for quite some time now. Poured a dark black color with nice head. Aroma and taste of fresh ground coffee, big roasted malts, chocolate and espresso. Medium to full carbonation. As the commercial description states, the brewer blended cofee and a stout seemlessly. Awesome stuff, thanks Brad!

Excellent! Must be sipped very slowly at room temperature. The warmer it gets the better it taste. If you love coffee, you are going to love this beer. Let it linger in your mouth a few seconds before swallowing. This beer taste better when served in tulip shape glass.

Bottle from Bigmmartin. The worst thing about this beer is that I expected too much after seeing the rating. From the description it has everything that I am looking for a in beer. The pour is dead sexy! I mean really does it get any better than this? Aroma is a mixture of caramel, coffee, toffee and licorice, but all in a subdued way. Taste is bitter coffee with some dark chocolate. Not bad by any stretch, but everything else about this had me wishing for so much more.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy fine to large sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation dark black brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was brown malt coffee and dark malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a strong hop coffee bite. It finished with a mellow lingering dark brown malt coffee aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of dark brown malt hops and coffee. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Bottle - It’s a beautiful pour -- jet black with a big tan foamy head. The smell is light coffee, cinammon, licorice, nutmeg, and a little metal. Taste is coffee, dark bitter chocolate, with a little nuttiness in the background. There’s a bit of hops on the finish, and it’s a bit drier than I anticipated. It’s way smooth, but not the religious experience I was expecting. Very nice, however.

I don’t understand how this is rated so highly... don’t get me wrong, it’s "pretty good" but there’s nothing special about this... It’s dominated by coffee in the aroma and flavor, loads of roastyness... medium light mouthfeel... clean palate... this feels like a 6% alc beer, and you really don’t notice any alcohol at all... Nice stuff, just not that good
