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.

bottle from Beer Store. Black with a fizzy off white head. Smells like coffee and chili (oddly enough), thick sticky palate with a big coffee taste, chocolate, mild chili, and finishing with more coffee. Decent.

12 oz bottle from the Four Firkins. Dark brown pour with a creamy tan head. Bitter coffee aroma that mellows and gets better as it warms. Intense roasted coffee flavor that also mellows and becomes quite delightful as it warms. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for a beer like this one, lingering bitter finish and good lacing.

Bottle pour. Incredible coffee aroma. Beautiful lacing and carbonation. Strong espresso initial notes and subdued/sweet/balanced finish. Not to bitter aftertaste. Overall an excellent imperial stout.

Interesting, Very somber looking pitch black with tan head. Common for imperials. Slight sweet vanilla nose. A little thin. Roasted coffee taste, lacks some hop balance. Don’t care for the taste that much. Ok finish, I just hate to pay $5.49, for 11.5 bottle.

Bottle... Poured black with a thick, light brown head. Aroma of earthy, roasted malts, coffee, liqueur, and a musty tone. Lots of coffee in this, a bit acidic because of it. A sweet, Irish cream-like flavor complemented the bitter, dark and boozy flavors.

Pitch black and thick with no head. Aroma is a bit faint, but smells strongly of coffee and earth. Flavor is a very rich coffee, and just a bit of fruity sweetness. Full bodied, velvety finish. Very nice all around.

Most of what I like in an Impy stout. Big, bold dark with aromas of roasty coffee. The only thing I would prefer is a little more body and sweetness. Excellent beer
