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 courtesy of ericandersnavy. Very dark heavy brown pour. Aroma is amazing. Lots of black pepper malts that sift with roastedness. Taste has huge dark chocolate notes. Finishes dark bitter. Lovely by all means.

A black colored beer, with a beige/brown head. The aroma of coffee, fruits like prunes with bitterness. The taste of soft fruits moving over to coffee. It’s dry with bitter chocolate. The aftertaste of bitter coffee with chocolate.

Bottle pours a dark black with a thin tan head. Aroma is heavily chocolate and coffee. Taste is intense with coffee, roastwd malts, chocolate and a moderately bitter finish. Medium to heavy bodied but smooth. Absolutely amazing!

4th May 2008. Rich dark stout. This is better when not too cold. Silky smooth with a subtle sweet note and subtle vanilla and even subtler red fruit. This is followed by a very dominant coffee note which leads to a dry bitter finish.

It has been so long since I’ve had a good beer. This is amazing! Very dark black brown... I can’t see through it... the head is browish white that goes quick. Aroma is of stewed fruits... like an alcoholic fruit cake and lingering coffee hints with tones of malts maybe some bitter chocolates. Flavour is malty and a little bitter with sweet chocolate coffee malts... body is huge! Great beer overal!!

bottle thanks to Daknole, pours pitch black with a tall frothy tan head. Roasted malt, coffee and an oaky aroma. Very roasty body of cocoa, and malt, with strong coffee and bitter expresso notes at the end. Moderately carbonated, is lighter in body than I thought it would be. Solid brew.
