Commercial Description:
If you love really good coffee and really good beer equally, you will be thrilled with Péché Mortel. If coffee isn’t your cup of tea, and caffeine makes you bounce off the ceiling, then just put the bottle down and find something else to drink. This beer is all about coffee. Indeed, you may have seen ‘coffee stouts’ before, but no brewer has ever married coffee and beer so naturally and seamlessly.
And this isn’t just any stout, but an imperial stout, which means that it is modeled on the strong, rich, and very complex stouts that were made in England in the 19th and early 20th centuries exclusively for shipment to Russia, where they were a special favorite at the court of the Czars.

Pours a near black with a dark tan head. Nose is dark roast espresso. Rich and strong aroma, quite amazing really. Some subtle notes of chocolate and smoke. Moderate bitterness up front with some strong roast. Like drinking a cup of fine cuban espresso. Huge chewy body with a long slight bitter and roasty mocha finish. Fantastic.

This beer came highly recommended, and it is always a pleasure to try a beer as highly rated as this one. RIS is a very popular style these days, and there are certainly many of them - this one, as advertised had a very heavy dose of coffee. It was a nice blend of sweetness and dry roastiness ("burned pizza crust"). Color was black. Body was viscous. Head was non-existent. Aroma was coffee-ish; dry, roast-y, and pretty bitter. Flavor was the same, but the dry-roastiness was balanced with some milk-stout sweetness. Mouthfeel was very slick, and pretty thick. Quite solid. Highly recommended. I bought this bottle at Blacklick Liquor on Broad St. Probably not worth the $5.89 for a 12oz bottle I paid, but quite good nonetheless.

Bottle. Wow. Pours a thick, viscous, oily black, with a presistent and lacy dark tan head. Big cappuccino aroma, with roasted barley, chocolate, fruit, great! Palate was both intense yet surprisngly drinkable. Huge coffee throughout, with more complexity than I would expect from even the best cup of coffee. Just floored me.

Pours like two stroke oil, coating the glass. Dark tan head forms, starchy nose. The coffee shows up on the palate, creamy middle, bitter hops finish. This really was easy to drink, all things in balance.

11.5oz bottle from CBX. pours a lovely, slightly thick onyx, with a thin, dark cocoa head and a ring of lace. aroma is absolutely wonderful with huge roast coffee and espresso notes, dark chocolate, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the slightest hint of vinous red fruits. flavor is truly spectacular with huge, bitter, dark roasted coffee and german chocolate cake up front, backed by notes of roasted pistachio, plantains, brown sugar and cinnamon oatmeal, vanilla beans, and a touch of smoked wood leaving a long, bittersweet, roasted coffee finish. palate smooth and full bodied with medium carbonation. overall, one of the best damn coffee stouts out there.
