Dieu du Ciel: Aphrodisiaque (Cocoa & Vanilla Stout)


Into the glass, this oily deep brown beer resembles liquid leather as it flops into the glass to produce a fat brown and dark head.
Typical bitter stout aromas lightly dance toward the nostril with gentle touches of cocoa.
Tasting this special stout knocks you into a dimension of unexplored territory by previously said style. The initial mouth feel is that perfect hot cocoa made by your Nanna after you have come in after playing outside in the cold twilight for too long. This, then is followed quickly by a long, smooth and decadent dark but lightly vanilla noted ale. Not until you swallow this beer do you really get the burst of bitter cocoa similar to the feeling of chomping off a square of dark (DARK!) chocolate.

This incredible French-Canadian stout from Montreal would go fantastic with any dark chocolate dessert, but more specifically: mousse.

341ml Bottles
6.5% Alc/Vol
Approx AUD$10 (yes, "TEN DOLLARS" for one small bottle of beer)

Keep on pushing boundaries and opening minds Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel!!
