Dieu du Ciel Route des Épices

Bottle. Nose is dominated by peppercorn. Very mild caramel malt int he background. Nice solid mahogany color with a beautiful head. Opens somewhat bland and finishes with pepper and spicy rye notes. Very high peppery flavors without any kind of base for balance. There’s a lot missing. If this beer had a caramel or chocolate undertone it would be wonderful, but otherwise it is very unbalanced.

Over rated beers from a Frog brew pub in a "trendy" section of Montreal. You have to be a Quebecois to love the combination of unfriendly service, smoky air with no ventilation and atrocious bar food. What’s worse than being a Canadian? Being a Quebecois! Mange Le Merd........Stick to vin

Bottle in trade from d0b. Thanks! Pours a rich maroon caramel color with a beige head. Smell is caramel, spice, yeast and pepper. Taste is rich caramel, zesty rye, and a definite peppery bite in the finish with a lingering mild spiciness. Full bodied with normal carbonation. Definitely peppery and pairs nicely with steak for that reason. Pretty enjoyable, but not something I’d drink more than one of at a time.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malt, peppar. Flavour is sweet, malt, peppar, fruit. Exciting twist. Nice beer.

Sampled during Cellars Wine & Spirits weekly beer tasting in St Paul, MN. From a 330 ml bottle pours a hazy brownish amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some toffee, dark fruits and a lot of white pepper. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of caramel, yeast, some raisin, black pepper and toasted biscuits. Finish has a mild pepper and earthy spiciness that lingers after the finish.

33cl bottle from ølbutikken, cph. cuts in label says in very broken english, pardon my french, bottled month 10 or 11 2007. got no idea what best before date is, as it is not stated on the bottle. Sampled feb 2009. pours and settles clear dark amber, thick and smooth light brown head, looks fantastic. faint but strong/powerfull dark fruits aroma. brown sugar?. i like this aroma. strange aroma. warmed it up a bit and i got faint sourness. flavor is quite far from aroma. cellary hoppy flavor, faint dark fruits, faint raisins, major driver is the hops. pepper very noticeable in the aftertaste where the beer burns. original concept.

hazy brown with a small cream head. sweet and slightly fruity with a strong peppercorn aroma. flavor is about the same...definately different

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with light cream colored head. Very earthy aroma with hints of sweetnees. Taste is sweet followed by the spice of the peppercorns. The peppery after taste lingers.
