Black ale with aromas and flavours of vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon and roasted malt. The vanilla and cocoa marry nicely, without out-competing each other, to produce a surprisingly well balanced beer. This beer is mildly hoppy, but the cocoa introduces a touch of bitterness. Its colour may be intimidating, but it is a very smooth beer within reach of most beer drinkers. This highly appreciated dessert beer is brewed with organic fair-trade cocoa and first rate vanilla beans. The Aphrodisiaque was born in our Montreal brewpub in May 2003 Note: Due to the Social Responsibility Laws in the Province of Ontario, the beer is known as Dieu du Ciel Aphrodite

    Small brown head thats short lived. No lace to speak of. Brown/black in color. Nose is light with some vanilla, roast and cocoa. Body is med/light, somewhat chalky on the tongue, sorta thin. Light choco roast flavors, vanilla, coffee maybe some black patent flavors. Dry, chocolatey bitter finish. Musta been a helluva beer in its day!?? Not so much now though. Bottle procured @statelineliquors.

    Courtesy of THE Gunhaver, thanks man, I’ve been looking forward to trying this. Pours very dark with amber edges and thin tan head. The aroma is roasty, some coffee, a touch of caramel and a thin layer of earthiness. The mouth is rich but doesn’t head all the way to velvety. It has loads of tasty malt flavors to go along with coffee, creamy caramel, blunted burnt malts, a modest level of fudge brownie and soft spice notes way in the background. Great mix of flavor here creating a soothing rich balance.

    341 ml bottle, from a Quebecois co-worker. ABV is 6.5%. Black colour, low tan head. Strong and pleasant aroma of cocoa and vanilla. The flavour is not very sweet, but has plenty of cocoa powder and vanilla, with strong coffee and bittering hops in the finish. No aphrodisiaque effect detected - maybe I am immune?

    Another wish list beer... another black beer, heavy, tight head, great lacing. Big coffe aromas and flavors, rich deeply raosted malts, molasses, overripe pitted fruits, dark chocolate, just a fantastic beer.

    Pours black with a thin tan cap which reduces quickly to a thin ring. Leaves a few spots of lacing. Aroma and flavour are similar. Roasted malt, cocoa, dark chocolate and vanilla. Medium to full body. Creamy and smooth. Excellent flavour and very drinkable. Would like to try this on draught. Bought in N Y. Aphrodite on the label.

    Pours very minimal brownish head and goes away fairly quickly. Has a very dark appearance, almost like motor oil. Aromas of cocoa, coffee roast, and chocolate. Flavours of chocolate, coffee, strong cocoa taste, hints of toffee and caramel. Nice balance of flavours throughout. Pretty smooth and easy drinking for a dark thick brew. Has a little bitterness on the palate. Pretty weak lacing and a somewhat watery mouthfeel. Still very tasty beer and would drink again for sure.
