Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a big, beautiful brown head. Aroma is a phenominal gourmet cofee and a touch of chocolate. Flavor is again, gourmet coffee, a little creamy and bitter chocolate in the background. I was so glad to finally try this beer, it certainly lived up to the hype. Good thing I have 5 more to get my fix again in the future.

Bottle from the depaneur near the brewbub. BIG foamy dark beige head that leaves big lacing. Aroma is all coffee and some chocolate. The flavor is all coffee...really good coffee. Bitter, salty mouthfeel. Coffee and beer. God loves me.

shared 11.5 bottle with bobby at the congressional less:tiger - parking deckin’ good bunker shot by charley hamilton. beer was the best thing i’ve had at 9 am since... a long time ago. smooth coffee tones with a nice richly amhesrtish blend of goodness, go jim fyurk and go peche mortel.

Pours a beautiful dark brown color with a hint of red - thick foamy 1 inch caramel head. Smells of rich roasted coffee dominates. Heavy lacing clings lovingly to the glass. First sip is all coffee, not just coffee but really good coffee. I love coffee (not as much as beer). This brew is brewed with really good java! Mouthfeel is creamy, bordering on milkshake like. There is some chocolate coming through but make no question, coffee is the star. Very good…close to World Class!

Pours black with a brown head (not too dark brown though). Aroma is definitely strong with coffee beans, plant, dark chocolate, and licorice. Tastes of bitter coffee, espresso, some dark chocolate, maybe dark fruit, but really this is all about coffee. And strong coffee flavors at that! This tastes like it was brewed with some really strong stuff. Full bodied and creamy, but not too heavy, and well hidden alcohol. Flavor seems a bit simple because of the coffee bias, but it’s still pretty good.

Bottle. Huuuuge beany coffee aroma, dominating all else, with chocolate. Have to give it to them, they live up to their boast - one of the most coffee-centric stouts out there. Soul-sucking black with a large dark brown head, dense and creamy, quiet, lacing and rocky. Taste of sultry dark chocolate, very dry roast malt but not before the rich, sweetly sticky beany chocolate has its way. Thickly malty (though I’ve had Doppelbocks that were fatter; this is more medium-bodied) with a little alcohol showing but no burn. Creamy-smooth. Light bitterness picks up a bit toward the aftertaste. A sure thing, but not a top-5 impy.

12oz. bottle. Dry, roasty, intensely coffeeish aroma, toasty and dark, full of incredibly dark chocolate malts and smoky notes, charry, woody and earthy. Dark brown-black in color with a lasting, fine, light tan head, some dustings of sediment visible. Flavor is very nicely balanced between the coffeeish dryness and dark malt sweetness, plenty of roast combined with lighter dark, dried fruit qualities, espresso and blackened char. Palate is smooth, creamy and ultimately dry. Body is correspondingly full, yet remaining very drinkable with a pretty incredible finish, showing a true depth of coffee flavor. Thanks to John Bryan for this!

pitch black with great tan head. nose of bitter coffee. flavor is absurd. the malt is huge with roasted and chocolate everywhere, the coffee blends in amazingly with it popping up throughout the taste. the hop bitterness is evident and really helps add depth to the coffee. the alcohol is large but only adds to the depth. top of the line, pretty perfect
