Dieu du Ciel Route des Épices

Pours a brownish/amber with a nice large foamy/rocky head that left spotty lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma of black better, caramel, some doughy notes, rye and on the malty sweet side. Sweet nose with a bunch of black peppery notes. Flavor of...you got it, Black Pepper, almost seems like it has a bit of a burn to it. Also getting some caramel notes, bready malt, toasted malt and some of the sweet maltiness I was picking up in the aroma. Yeah that is peppery burn and I’m not sure what I think about this much pepper in a beer. Don’t get me wrong...love spicy/burn your mouth hot food. Not sold on it in my beers.

Bottle from trip to Montreal. Slightly hazy brown-copper colour with a good sized off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt and rye with smoke notes and a nice peppery edge. Medium mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and slightly whisky-like off the top, and then OH MY GOD THAT’S A FUCKLOAD OF PEPPER in the long, burning finish. It sounds wrong to say so, but I actually really liked this - although one bottle was quite enough.

Bottle. Bown sugar brown coloring. No head. No residual. Smoky, spicy, pepper black. Bloody Mary celery like. Tabasco-black pepper radiates throughout. Overpoweringly spicy like mashed potatoes with too much pepper and enough to make you cry. Unique.

341 ml bottle. Shared with my neighbour Kjetil. Brown color, off-white head. Sweet flavor, maybe with hints of pepper. Flavor is sweet and dry. The pepper appears after a few seconds, and stays in your mouth for a long while. WARNING! This must bed the last or anly beer in a tasting session; water cant kill the extremely peppery mothfeel, and every beers you taste after this one will taste less than they normally do.

on tap @ Dieu du Ciel. Pours a nice deep amber color. Peppery aroma with some malt presence. Taste is slightly malty then an intense pepper burn that lingers on your palate & the back of your throat for a while. It was definately a differt & strange aftereffect but I wanted more. Intersting beer

Bottle from puzzl on 3/28/08. Pours with a medium sized head that dissipate at a medium to fast pace, leaving a small ring around the glass. Theliquid is dark amber. The flavor has some spicy nutmeg and black pepper. A little caramelization, but very dry dry in general, especially with the warm tongue you get after drinking. Not that tasty, but fun to drink, because of the warm spiciness.

Pours a coppery amber with a small foamy beige head. Aroma of ground pepper, marijuana leaves, nutmeg, rye and a hint of ginger. Spicy taste of black pepper, rye, ginger, and nutmeg. Leaves a hot aftertaste, much like a jalapeno. Have water handy when drinking this.

Red-brown with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of freshly grinded black pepper and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and the same notes as the aroma, but also hints of cinnamon and nutmeg in the finish + a slightly burning, but pleasant sensation from the pepper. I thought it would be nice with food, but I found it stale and sweet - so I enjoyed it without food and liked it!
