Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel (Bottle) 9,5%
It poured a pitch black liquid with a small light brown foam that left some lacing.

It had a strong smell of primarily coffee, but also chocolate, toffee and an interesting smell that I couldn't quite distinguish, probably related to the added coffee.

The mouth feel was smooth and creamy with a thick body and medium bitterness. The bitterness was more of a coffee and dark chocolate bitterness then a hoppy bitterness. It had a strong taste of coffee but also chocolate, coconut and something burned and roasted.

A fantastic beer! It felt complex and interesting to drink, perfect to sit and sip at for a while. I'm not a big fan of coffee and don't normally drink it, but this was really nice. Definitely recommended and at this price it's an absolute steal. Just as with Rigor Mortis I hope to get a couple of extra bottles.

Total: 4,3/5

Dieu du Cieal Rigor Mortis Abt (Bottle) 10,5%
It poured a hazy dark amber liquid with a small dirty white foam.

It had a strong smell of yeast, dried fruit, wood and an alcoholic finish that I relate to brandy.

The mouth feel was very smooth and creamy, felt nice in my mouth. The high alcohol made it feel dry though and a bit stingy on the tip of my tongue. It had a thick body and a low bitterness. The flavour was quite strong and the most noticeable where dried fruit, yeast, something sweet and an alcoholic finish.

A very good and interesting beer, maybe a bit to alcoholic but besides that I have no complaints. The alcohol wasn't that intense it was mostly something I felt after taking a sip. Definitely a beer that is worth it's money, it's an absolute find at 35 SEK per bottle and I plan to buy a couple of extra to keep in my storage.
