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.

A: Pours black as night with a huge two finger espresso colored head. The head lingered for quite some time before dying down to a simple collar. Nice thick lacing in spots. Overall a lovely looking beer. S: Wow coffee to the max. Tons of fresh brewed coffee aromas come wafting from the glass. The coffee aromas are backed by just a hint of charcoal. A tinge of sweetness can be detected, but the pure coffee aroma of this one is better than those found in world’s best coffee houses. T: Holy Shit!!! This is the one; I have died and gone to heaven. The taste is off the charts. Tons of fresh espresso hits the tongue and rushes thru the mouth and down the throat. The flavor was so intense. It just hung around on the tongue with the perfect degree of bitterness. There were hints of charcoal and smoke, but the coffee is what this one is all about. I started drinking this one at 51 degree and let it warm from there. As it warmed just a hint of sugary sweetness and milk can be detected beneath the wonderful coffee taste. M: Medium bodied, very smooth almost creamy. This beer went down wayyy tooo good for 9 percent. God I am in heaven. D: Uber, the best, I love it. The perfect beer for morning noon or night.

Draft at brewpub. Black color, thick brown head, coffee aroma. This is the imperial coffee stout! The robust coffee flavor is heightened and sweetened by the over abundant presence of alcohol. Truly a great beer, just a tad to high alcohol for my taste.

Bottle, 34,1cl - Pitch black beer with a large coffee brown head. The aroma, like sniffing right into an ashtray where coffee, dark chocolate and charcoal has been burned and grinded down. The flavor is as dry as an espresso mixed with some vanilla and chocolate. Truly amazing experience. Make sure that u aren’t planning on drinking or eating anything after this though. Peche Mortel, the destroyer of other beers...

This is one of the riches most powerful brews I have had, notes:Super rich body, nose of super rich coffee, heavy espresso and some dark bitter chocolate. Taste is very heavy. A bit too much alcohol for me and has more bitterness than I expected.

Taster at Le Festival Bieres et Saveurs Chambly 08. The color is black with a thick beige head. The aroma is of coffee. The taste is of espresso, coffee, malt and more malt. This one really packs a punch.

Bottle - Poured a very dark black/brown in color with a small tan head that faded to cover the beer. Aroma is lots of coffee and darkly roasted malts, some of them providing a slight sweetness. .Flavor is slightly sweet and very strong in coffee and (too) darkly roasted malts... a bit burnt tasting. Thick palate. Finish is sweet and heavy with coffee. Not as good as I had hoped for (based on ratings), but make no mistake, this is still very good beer.
