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.

Pours out black with tan head. Taste is brewed coffee. Some dark fruits and chocolate, but mostly roasted coffee. Some booze and bitter hops are also present. Thick and rich, but smooth. Great brew.

aroma is french pressed java and a touch of the occassional ester, grape in particular. pour is nearly dead flat. flavor is acidic burn of coffee grounds and little else, emphasized by the stagnant body. this bottle might have been defective but this is far from a failure even when crippled by a lack of carb. alcohol comes in time and keeps the mouthfeel silky while providing a fire for my tummy. great beer -- but still cant top breakfast stout.

Pours a dark brown with slightly airy beige head. Intense aroma of coffee and a bit something sweet... maybe coconut? The coffee flavor is b-i-g. Slightly sweet with a warm finish. A "full" mouthfeel while not truly thick. Intense and straightforward.

Excellent stout, poured black with a thick lacy brown head. Smelled of excellent coffee/espresso with some sweet chocolate/sugar backing it up. Tasted of strong and excellent coffee beans, alcohol is present but adds more than detracts. Very thick and full of flavor, an excellent coffee stout!

Original review date 6/13/2008... Awesome, thick banana nut bread head. Lacing starts nicely. Huge espresso-roast body. This looks awesome. Vibrant coffee notes with huge malt and grassy hops - a little BBQ char and some residual sweetness of cinnamon sugar. Very well-blended roasted malt with strong coffee component. Alcohol is present but lifts overall flavor profile nicely. Very strong bitter coffee with grassy hops - similar to nose. Nice stuff. Velvety, coaty, warming stuff. Coffee strong on finish. Excellent. Nicely drinkable for style - still a sipper.

bottle @ redlight redlight. Rich coffee aromas, chocolate, roasted barley and vanilla on the nose. Pours black with a thin tan head. Intense coffee flavors, bitter dark chocolate, chocolate liquor, bitter dark malts with traces of vanilla. Very smooth and rich.

Bottle. Poured black with a decent sized bubbly brown head. Nose is burnt malt with a huge coffee presence, what a great aroma. Full bodied with good carbonation and a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is very burnt/roasted with strong coffee notes and hints of bitter chocolate and vanilla. Finishes dry with mild hops bitterness. Very drinkable.
