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.

Absolutely one of the best beers I have tried, and stout is not one of my favorite style. This is a deep red/black beer with a deep tan head. Beautiful! Aroma of coffee, more similar to Starbucks than Dunkin Donuts. Taste is coffee, coffee, coffee. I rarely drink the same beer twice, but I want to savor another bottle of this beer!

bottle. pours a deep black with a 2 finger tan head... great lacing throughout. lots of coffee on the nose as well as dark fruits and licorice. its almost like sticking your face into a jar of ground coffee. thin to medium body, very smooth. sweet up front and bitter on the back. excellent finish. top notch, well balanced coffee stout.

Black pour with a 1 finger tan head that fades quickly to a thin ring. Coffee, brown sugar, molasses and semi-sweet chocolate aroma. Lots of bitter black coffee and dark chocolate flavor with hints of raisins, alcohol and some faint vinous quality. Great depth and balance of flavors. Oily full body with lots of carbonation.

Bottle into snifter. Pours opaque black with a thin brown head. Nose is espresso, bit of cocoa, smooth. Taste is lots of espresso - full flavored and smooth up front, with a bit of cocoa underneath, fading to a lasting dry, espresso bitterness. Mouthfeel is fairly thick, but with a light, sharp carbonation. Pretty smooth overall. Delicious, even for a non coffee-drinker like myself.
