Commercial Description:
Péché Mortel (French for "Mortal Sin") is an intensely black and dense beer with very pronounced roasted flavours. Fair trade coffee is infused during the brewing process, intensifying the bitterness of the beer and giving it a powerful coffee taste. Péché mortel is brewed to be savored; we invite you to drink it in moderation.

This stout style, high in alcohol and bitterness in order to favour preservation, was historically brewed to support the long and arduous voyage necessary to export the beer from England to Russia. The word Imperial comes from the fact that the beer was specially brewed for the Russian tsar’s court.

Traded bottle. Pours oil black with a medium brown head. Huge aroma of burt malt, dry ground coffee and a little chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel with flavours of super bitter coffee, baking chocolate and some smoke. Good but maybe a little heavy on the coffee bitterness for my tastes.

Bottle care of hannont, thank you Todd! pours totally black with a smallish tan head. Aroma is huge coffee and chocolate, roasted malt and dark fruit. Flavor is coffee and chocolate up front roasted malt and a bit of earthiness in the finish. Very smooth and rich stout, very nice start to an evening of coffee stouts.

Huge thanks to Honkeybra for getting me this one. Crushed with Jakebra. Big dark fruits and coffee on the nose. The coffee blends beautifully in the flavor. It’s a little thin bodied, but fuck, it’s so good I’m not going to complain anymore. Roast, coffee, dark fruits. Fantastic brew.

Bottle. It’s totally black with a small but lasting brown head. Aroma dominated by coffee and chocolate malts with some notes of dry wood. Taste also has strong notes of coffee and burned malts with a long lingering dry aftertaste of coffee. It is complex yet easy to drink and very well balanced. It is a very enjoyable beer.

I love coffee and I love beer, and this is the most amazing combination of the two I’ve ever had. Bitter, chocolatey, lots of coffee flavor and a deep, roasted goodness. Really an amazingly tasty brew.

Smell is dominated by coffee, followed by bitter chocolate and roastiness. Taste is more balanced, the coffee is really well blended into the other flavors. Body is smooth, rich, full and satisfying. Some hop bitterness and light citrus fruit, orange specifically, as well as subtle cherry. Quite drinkable, alcohol not obvious. No rough edges on this one, warm and smooth, a touch sweet but not at all cloying. Not the most complex flavors, but very enjoyable.
