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 Parti-Pak Liquors (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a murky dark brown to black with thin tan head. Aroma is slightly musty with notes of roasted coffee, chocolate, some faint caramel and toffee sweetness. Flavor is malty and roasted with notes of coffee, chocolate, toffee, raisins, some ripe dark fruits, caramel and hints of molasses. Generally full body with a pleasing roasted coffee finish.

11.5 oz bottle, pours a nice dark to opaque color. Has a huge head of tiny fine bubbles. Has a mocha brownish head also Aroma is pure roasted coffe with hint of sweetness and choclate. I also got some raisin and dark fruits in there. Body is pretty full to me with some nice carbonation Taste is rich and silky. Maybe some oatmeal in there for that. After the initial taste as it rolls on the back of the palate you start to get the dark fruits and hops to come through. This is a nice coffee stout. Thanks to jonathan for sharing this.

Black colour with a dirty dark tan head. Strong oaked aroma which overrides the malt .

Wow. I absolutely adore coffee beers, and this one wins for the BLACKEST coffee taste. A ton of espresso. (Pisgah Valdez still wins for most coffee taste.) A bit too much carbonation, as it stings a bit on the tongue. Maybe a good thing with all the dark chocolate (DARK) and coffee taste. The sweetness has no chance against this bitterness, and the aftertaste goes on for days. Just breathing in and out after you take a sip brings you happiness. Maybe a bit much for

The aroma of this beer is in itself complex. First a strong coffee aroma is present and then chocolate and caramel smells waft through the air.The smoothness of this beer is wonderful. Not many stouts, especially this flavorful, are so palatable.

Pours a pitch black with small tan head. Aroma overwhelming of cofee and a little roasted malt in the background. Flavor is obvious of coffee, but it meshes with the malt, spice, chocolate and alcohol well. What a solid coffee stout.

Bottle. I love this stout. Fantastic balanced aroma and flavor of dark malt and coffee. There is a hint of alcohol too. It has a little kick. Great stout.

Nice, a bottle from mreusch, Thanks! Excellent stout. Dark black pour, fizzy dark tan head. Lots of coffee, roasted malt, smoke, and chocolate. Notes of vanilla and caramel. Not much fruit in this stout. Tasty!
