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.

Bottled. Aroma has sherrykeg wood and roasted coffee mainly, some dried fruitiness. Black coloured beer with a thin beige lace. The taste is slightly sweet and becomes more bitter towards the finish. There is mostly roasted coffee, some chocolate and liquorice. Well bodied, oily beer. Really good.

On draft at brewpub. Deep black with medium but persistent tan head. Loads of roasted and coffee notes from this one. coffee predominates with some malty sweetness and a mild bitter aftertaste. really chewy full palate. A monster of a beer.

Bottle Pours a deep black with a brown head . The head lasts well, and peduces excellent lacing. Aroma is of sweetness and smoke. Nice touches of coffee and nuts. Has a good carbonation. The mouthfeel is good. The flavor is a jacked up starbucks coffee but it’s beer. A strong amount of coffee and sour bitterness. Has a watery texture with a medium to full body. A hearty full body. Arobust finish with a great lingering aftertaste. This is a solid good beer.

Bottle. Pitch black with a dense lasting cappuccino coloured head. Aroma is heavily roasted with ashy notes of smoke. Notes of coffee and licorice are to find in the aroma aswell. Thick and oily texture. Warming alcohol. Flavours of burnt malt, coffee, licorice and some smoke. Well crafted brew!

Pours dark as tar with a huge creamy head. Lots of coffee in the nose with sweet cream as well. As much coffee as I’ve ever had in beer, which fortunately I love. Dark figs linger at the end, with a wonderful finish which is just long enough without being too much. Beautiful beer.
