Corne du diable (French for "Horn of the devil") is a contemporary interpretation of the classic English India Pale Ale. This new style, born on the west coast of North America, is characterized by stronger and hoppier beers. The result is a red ale expressing caramel flavours coming from the malt, sharp bitterness and powerful hop aromas, thanks to dry hopping.

Big light brown head. Hazy translucent red-brown body. Syrupy intense fruity malty aroma with paper notes, a bit cloying. Intense dry-sweet peppery grassy tropical fruit taste, somewhat papery. Light, mild mouthfeel. Dry straw and grass aftertaste with chalky roasty notes. (0.341l bottle, Ølbutikken, København.)

Bottle. Amber colour with a thick and foamy white head. The aroma is rather shy but nice citrusy. Hoppy flavor. But not in a complex way. It is not too bitter, you can actually taste the hops. Hints of butter and citrus.

Bottle at Orsted Olbarog. Cloudy brown, lasting beige. Hoppy, bit of acidity. It’s ok, good hop on finish. Hot hop not a lot of good malts. not a great DIPA. Not enough malts to underpin the hops.

11.5 oz. bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop. Very hazy brownish red color with a 2-finger head, decent retention and nice lacing. Big nutty, toffee malt aroma with some citrus hops. Citrus hops in the taste are very bitter with a nutty maltiness in the background. Medium body.

Bottle. Immediately after opening the bottle, the lovely hoppy aromas enters the nose and promise something good. It pours a hazy orange body under an inch of off-white head leaving nice lacings. Lovely piney, resiny, slightly citrusy, floral and malty-sweet nose. Touch of beef-stock too. The flavor is much the same, on the hoppy side, with malts and sugars trying to balance it. That is doesn’t succeed is all fine, it’s a lovely IPA, with the bitterness coming nicely in the finish. Full-bodied and effervescent. (081002)

Pours deep amber into an English pint. Fluffy mocha head with excellent retention does not recede. Sweet pine and resin aromas. Dark caramel upfront with a sticky middle and a lasting resin finish. Full bodied and delicious.

Bottled at Ørsted Ølbar, Copenhagen. Clear copper colour, creamy head. Grapefruity lychee-like hop aroma. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Fresh hops supported by caramelly malt. Above medium bodywith evident crystal malt character. Lots of hop aroma, less bitterness.

Color is amber, aroma is very sweet and floral with a nice touch of malt. A good beer from Don du Ciel, but my least favorite so far. Would try another for a second review.

330 ml. bottle. Dark amber color with a significant beige head. Aroma of roasted caramel, citrus and resin. Medium body with creamy carbonation. It tastes really fresh. The roasted malt is there, but the hop seems to overcome it. I’m not saying it’s unbalanced, but I’m not saying it’s balanced. The finish is both sweet and bitter. I am saying it is absolutely delicious. Works for my mouth.

2011-07-26, draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen, 8-5-7-4-15=39
Red to dark amber color; off-white creamy head. The aroma offruity hops is very nice, with sweet caramel too, and a touch of sweaty hops and earthy yeast. Correct body strength, with a quite round mouthfeel; strong caramel flavor, with low residual sugars; strong bitterness, with earthy and resiny hops; the final is a bit dusty.
Very good; bold but not refreshing.

Beautiful red-amber color, bright; the head reduces quickly, but leaves behind a sticky lace. It has a winderful hoppy aroma, with resins, a bit fruity and a touch of vanilla too. Unfortunately the sugars all all gone; there is a strong caramel and toffee flavor and a very strong bitterness, with some good oils; the final is very long. Good, but why wasting so much hop and forgetting the body?
