Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

Black as ink, thin brown head. Huge coffee aroma. Tastes like a coffee milkshake made with dark chocolate. Syrupy and thick mouthfeel. Bitter and long finish. One of the best imperial stouts i’ve had.

Inky black with a thin brown head.Chalky chocolatey brandy nose with a hint of tannic grapeskin. Tastes almost exactly as it smells, but drier, with more coffee and noticeable alcohol in finish. Biting middle of tongue bitterness, with nice subtle carbonation. $6/11.5oz

Thanks to Four Firkins, I was able to try this rare Canadian gem. $6.50 per 11.5 oz. bottle. Pours jet black with a creamy tan head. Nose is aggressive, only slight hints of coffee along with roasted malts, a hint of chocolate and iodine. Mouth feel is heavy and brash, smooth & oily and very acidic. Definately taste the high alcohol from the get go. Coffee flavor is a bit washed out by the roastiness. This is definately in the running for the best coffee-beer. Only thing holding this back is the limited availability and high price.

11.5 oz bottle purchased at Julio’s in Massachusetts. Pours a pitch black with a dark brown head. Nose is coffee, malt & chocolate. Thick, oily palate with low carbonation. Intense coffee flavor, maybe a little to much so. Secondary flavor of unsweetened chocolate. 9.5 % abv is well hidden behind all the coffee and chocolate.

bottle (thank’s Alex!!!) - black (really black) beer with a brownish head. Very clear coffee aroma. The strong alcohol (9.5%) is hiding behind the intense coffee flavour. Never had something comparable. Highly viscous beer.

Bottle. Thanks to Linus Stick for sharing this one. Pours a thick oily extremely dark brown, with a thin as velum tan head. Aroma is thick... filled with roasted coffee beans, 75% dark chocolate, cream, and roasted malt. Taste is sticky and bitter up front, then fades into a sweeter malt and choclatety flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft with a light sticky residue left behind. An excellent beer that should be tasted by all.

11.5oz bottle bought in southern ind. dark opaque pour with nice head. just stared at it for a few..the aroma was intense and coffee and unsweetened chocolate and malt. the first taste was nectar. the stout and strong coffee flavor was intense and incredible and the sublteness of the chocolate and malt was a nice after taste. worth every bit of its rating.

Bottle at Volo, Toronto. Like a big, smokey, malted coffee milkshake. Flavors of smoke, wood, coffee, cream, sweet malt, burnt barley, and something like gin. Super complex. I would cut back the coffee just a touch, but hey, I’m a tea man. Dieu du ciel, these beers are hard to find in Ontario!
