Dieu du Ciel Route des Épices

Brewed by Dieu du Ciel
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Montreal, Canada

Bottle - in Volo. Appearance: Ruby red, large pancake mix colour head. Aroma: Spice and yeast. Flavour: All spice, pepper, cinnamon with a lovely black pepper finish, unusual and nice.

pours a dark amber colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is definitely cracked black peppercorns and a lighter rye bread underneath...as is to be expected. Flavour is light roasted malt, a touch of nutty bitterness and a peppery finish. Very well balanced and drinkable.

Nose is chock full of peppercorns and slight malty underpinning. Pours a beautiful Reddish brown with a medium sized fluffy tan head. Flavor is strong with pepper and anise. It actually burns with spiciness. Very interesting, but not one you could drink multiple bottles of. I applaud the brewer’s lack of inhibition.

Good beer. I wouldn’t have more than one in one sitting, but it was an excellent change of pace. Excellent balance between the rye and malty sweetness. Not overdone, which is always a risk for something like this. You don’t exactly find a plethora of peppercorn-spiced beers out there, so an A+ for creativity on this one. I would recommend.

Pours a deep burnt amber color with a big foamy tan head that lasts and laces. Aroma of sweet toffee, ripe fruit and spice. Flavor is fruit, malt and grain up front, which turns seriously spicy. Long black pepper finish. A bit thick on the palate. Quite unique and enjoyable.

A boost bottle- Pours a murky copper with an off white cap of foam. nice pretty lace. Nose is a blast of peppercorn with caramel and burnt malts, also a bit nutty with dark fruits. Tastes sweet, of caramel, toffee and dark pit fruits, with a nice peppery burn that does well alongside said sweetness. Rye and vanilla round out the flavour profile. A nice beer to be sipped and enjoyed. Thanks boost.

My favorite rye beer beer to date!!! Very unique burnt caramel color with a nice sand-colored head. Aroma is sweet brown sugar, toffee, and some dark fruit. Flavor is intensely spiced...the lingering black pepper aftertaste dances on the tongue. It’s a little hot, actually. Medium to syrupy mouthfeel. I’ve enjoyed all I’ve tried from this brewery!!!

Bottle. Dark caramel / brown pour with some tan head. Aroma is chocolate, rye malt, and oats. Very peppery flavor, some sweet caramel malt underneath and maybe some chocolate in the finish. Pretty strange beer.
