Dieu du Ciel Route des Épices

Pours an amber-plum color with off-white head. Very interesting aroma swirling with notes of wood, smoke, cola, rye, peppery spice, ginger, cinnamon, yeast, and slight licorice- not a particularly strong aroma but really complex. Flavor is extremely spicy up front with notes of cinnamon, ginger, sweet oranges, and caramel, finishing with an immense hit of pepper. Pepper may dominate a tiny bit, but its nice to really taste it rather than just reading it in the ingredients. Really interesting brew.

Bottle thanks to ballwblake. The look is an amber color with a white head. The smell is pepper, flowers, spcies, ans light sweetness. The taste is spices, peppers, fruits, and ok.

This dark copper beer poured with a massive beige head and a toffee and licorice aroma. The flavor is fairly complex, with some caramel, chocolate and a spicy hot pepper finish. An interesting brew.

Weak aroma of anise and black pepper. Clear brown, thin yellowish head. Certainly peppery, not a great flavor for beer, IMHO, but it may complement certain foods very well. I would imagine it goes well with gamy meats. It’s not awful, but it gets tiresome once the novelty wears off.

Struggle at first for me, simply unbelievable hotness of black pepper ending every sip. Aroma of soy, cat, red fruit, patchoili. There is patchoili and pepper in the taste over winey red fruit and sour-grainy rye. I enjoyed the last of my glass wit ha chaser of Solstice Barley Wine to chase it, and in the end I liked this heavily peppered beer despite craving more balance.

Bottle. Medium sized fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, transparent body, fast rising carbonation, spotty amounts of lacing, and an orange hue. The aroma was malt, chocolate, caramel, sweet, fruity, and pepper notes. Ditto for the flavor along with some spicy flavor. The mouthfeel was tingly, peppery and hot. This is a medium bodied beer. I do not care for a beer with a peppery taste to it which made it difficult for me to finish this beer. Not a beer that I will drink again.

Bottle. Pours Reddish brown with thin tan head. Aroma is malt with a touch of black pepper. Flavor starts out like a dopplebock with rye but then a heavy peppercorn finish which lasts and lasts. Medium texture on the palate but the peppercorn really takes hold as it settles. Unique brew, maybe a tad too much pepper.

Bottle. Dark brown, copper highlights. aromas of bread crusts and cracked pepper. Flavours of rye bread, caramel, and heaps of fresh cracked pepper. Unusual, intriguing, and delicious.
