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.

Black as night. Smell of burnt logs and dark roast coffee. Lots and lots of burnt roasty malt and coffee. Fair amount of balance for a big coffee stout. Coffee brews are my favorite, and this was right up there with the best of them.

Very dark black colored brew. Strong aroma of coffee, espresso-beans, roasted malty goodness :) Flavor is very well balanced if you let it rest for a while. Smooth coffee flavor with some chocolates and other roasted malts. A bit creamy even. Very good warming mouthfeel. Very nice.

Small bottle found at Beer Paradise in Holstebro. Pitch black with small dark head. Aroma is full of great qulaity coffee and some roasted malt. Flavor is again string coffee,roasted malts and some vanilla flavor lingering in the back. Extremely well made.

Bottle at Volo, Aug 7, 2008. Ralph served this and said, this is the first bottle of Peche Mortel legally sold in Ontario. Crazy. The beer is crazier, especially for one in which coffee is added, as it still remains incredibly well balanced. With our cheese and apricot jelly/chutney it was unreal. Smooth, thick mouthfeel; tremendous aroma and super complex layers of coffee, roasted flavours. Magnifique!

12oz bottle from new beer distributors in manhattan. dark brown color with a medium pillowy brown head that stick around. roasted coffee and chocolate aroma. expected coffee flavor with a moderately bitter ashy aftertaste. also some nuttiness in the taste. palate is medium to thin - but is still creamy. as a coffee lover, this one was right up my alley. K-8

Bottle, thx to NoiZe. Pitch black colour, tan head. Aroma has bitter chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Flavour has initially bitter coffe, but gets smoother with roasted malts. Long lasting aftertaste of bittersweet chocolate malts. Impressive!

Bottle. Strong coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. Oooh its fighting, strong coffee coming through. Jet black appearance. Very crisp stained brown frothy head. Very impressive flavours in this beer. Coffee, chocolate fighting to be the most dominant. Cant make out if it wants to be a bitter chocolate milkshake or an iced coffee. Very tasty stout with the boot to kick you in the arse, but it does it so delicately. This brewery has impressed me once again. Great stuff.
