MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Jul 20, 2009 bottle shared at July BA tasting. Pours a clear amber with a thin, off-white head. Nose is of spices, especially pepper. Taste is super peppery. Mouthfeel is thin. Hansen (2235), Randers, Denmark Jul 20, 2009 Interesting beer, especially to a start. Aroma has pure notes of fresh pepper. Colour is brown and a bit unclear. Off-white head, mostly lasting. Flavor has some warming pepper. A pepper-beer. SuIIy (1406), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jul 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a nut brownish color with a very tiny film of head. Nose is spicy and kinda hot. There are some light sweet nut notes as well. Palate is filmy and smooth but sticky. Flavors of pepper, stings the back of the throat, almost like a cayenne pepper or chili, but there is def some black pepper in there. Throat burns a bit and the back of the tongue stings. Pawola22 (677), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Jul 18, 2009 11.5oz bottle. Pours a clear, reddish copper body with a finger-width, fizzy, light tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a veil of lacing on the surface and a good amount of heavy, runny lace-work on the glass. Aroma is mild caramels and legitimately smells like rye bread and black pepper. A light chocolate and fruit make it in there as well. Flavor is more the same. Mildly sweet caramels up front and just a light amount of buttery toffee and fruit come in before a rye spiced, peppery finish. The black pepper gives this just a slight heat like a chili beer typically would. Finishes very smooth with a full body. Lingers for a moderate duration with a light caramel, warming pepper, and a bit of bready fruit aftertaste. Overall, another solid Dieu du Ciel offering. Nice body and straightforward, but fun and unique flavored beer that made this quite enjoyable. Good one.

BRAINS!!!!!! Madsnp (611), Odense C, Denmark Jul 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours reddish amber with a nice off white head. Aromas of black pepper, caramel, black pepper and more black pepper. Spicy black pepper flavour with notes of sweet malt, caramel and a burning black pepper finish. A little to much pepper.. alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 6, 2009 Slightly off white head. Aroma of black pepper and some caramel. Reddish copper hue. Take a sip and there is a flood of peppercorn with some toasted malts and caramel for a touch of sweetness. Excellent lacing-just hugs the side of the glass. MrBunn (1523), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 5, 2009 Bottle. Body is a big and bold reddish copper with a small head and heavy aromas of caramel, brown sugar and peppercorns. Flavor is similar... the black pepper presence is hot and dominant, which made this unique and quite enjoyable.
