Sep 20, 2009 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.

Sep 20, 2009 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.

Sep 19, 2009 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

Sep 18, 2009 Pours opaque brown black. The frothy tan head has good retention, leaves a sticky lacing. First bit of aroma is caramel and aroma, and then the coffee kicks in, oily, aromatic, and lasting. Flavor is principally espresso, and a lot of it. There’s enough coffee here that if you want, you can ignore the thickness, roastiness, and alcohol of it all, and pretend it’s an iced americano. Underneath all the coffee, there’s roasted bitterness, and a bit of caramel sweetness to balance it. Full bodied, creamy, slightly tannic. Delicious but noticeably one-dimensional towards the coffee department.

Sep 16, 2009 My mouth is a coffee bean roaster. A dark black beer with little to no head. Aroma of roasted, alcohol, & coffee beans. The taste is roasty toasty coffee beans, & bitter. It is like your mouth is a coffee bean roaster. Like tasting coffee without much sugar because in no way is this beer sweet. What I find so good about this beer is not that it tastes like a coffee drink but you can taste the beans in a nice raw sort of way.

Sep 16, 2009 Pours nearly opaque, and black by all appearances. Head is medium brown and doesn’t last long.
Nose is chocked full of dark chocolate, 3 Muskateers nougat, and espresso beans.
Palate has more dark roasted coffee, espresso or Vienna roast perhaps, bittersweet chocolate, and some roasty malt flavors. Hops are there but you can’t get past the joy of the dark roasted coffee flavors.
Great example of the style. Few coffee stouts pull off this dark roast profile so well.

Sep 14, 2009 A nose of sawdust, regular dust, coffee and vanilla. Taste is of vanilla, grinded coffeebeans, sugar and dark chocolate. It’s dusty and roasted, but also sweet and bitter. Maybe the acidity is a bit too present, but otherwise this really is a contender in the category of " best coffee stout ".

Sep 12, 2009 If there is one thing I can say about these beers from Dieu, they are very well balanced. For this beer, one word: Extraordinary!
Typical black color where a slight amount of light shines through on the edge of the glass. Great lasting head which coats the glass like a blanket.
Coffee with cream is the predominant smell here...lots black patent malt.
Like the smell, this is a milked coffee beer. Great body; simply superior in every way in that it provides a blend that, at a slower pace, is exquisite.
