Dieu du Ciel Route des Épices

Wow. Seriously. Solid rye base with lots of pepper on the nose. But not the black pepper you buy by the pound, this is the uppity whole peppercorn that the guy at the Olive Garden twists and grinds out over your salad on Sunday night. Amber rose, creamy head, barely tan. Loads of hot, biting, spicy pepper in the sip. Modest alcohol and a lack of carbonic bite allow for the pepper punch to not get out of control. I want to put this in potato salad, on steak and in a pan with brauts. Unique, specific, and without apology.

Botle. Packs a powerfull aroma of pepper. Murky amber body with thin head. Spice and pepper with enogh malt to thicken the body of beer. Thin this would of been an overspice up brew. Alrigh but filling pepery bitter beer.

Bottle courtesy of gethinbeer. Deep amber beer with a thick off-white head. Aroma is lightly malty and a little bit toasty with a soft biscuity note as well. Lots of strong black pepper in the nose as well. Soft sweet with a lingering black pepper flavour on the back. Fairly spicy showing a fair amount of heat towards the finish. Pretty good brew, if a little bit simple.

A - strong peppercorn nose with what smells like gardening bark and some cinnamon 7 V - cloudy dark orange hue with a thin cover head and slight lacing 3+ T - malts become more noticable on taste fading into an intense peppercorn flavor 7 P - somewhat fizzy, which seems to make the peppercorns more active. 2 O - strong hot pepper makes this a nice change of pace, certainly a noticeable taste, but also prevents it from being sessionable

Gout poivrer. Vraiment... bof... ordinaire Peppery taste. Kinda boring...

Holy crap this is disgusting. Nose is fresh ground pepper and rye bread. Says it is brewed with pepper corns not black pepper on the bottle.... Taste is like meat and pepper and it actually burns when it goes down. There is literally a dull burn on the back of my throat. No thanks.

Smell some pepper, but on the pallate there is a good amount. Really improved at a warmer temp. I detected just a hint of the rye, and the pepper really started to warm the throat after a few sips. Nice use of some pep.

Bottle. Dark amber light hazy body with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is dominated by spices, malt and pepper. Bit fruity as well. Body is creamy. No doubt about the papper in the flavour as it kinda burns your tastebud but its not unpleasant. Spicy notes as well. Interesting and different.
