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.

11.5oz bottle @Tampa Wkly Gathering–pours a light brown head that laces and black color. Aroma is anise, ashy, some acidic. As it warms coffee too. Taste is coffee-dark malt, ashy, some acidic hops. Not my taste but nice.

Thanks group for the share. Pours dark black/ brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted coffee, vanilla, earth, and roasted malts. Flavor is dark malt, dark coffee, chocolate, and some milky qualities. Incredible, and very nice. Full bodied and enjoyable- I wish it was available in Florida.

I first had this one in CPH in 2008. This one pours a thick black colour with minimal brown head.Has a complex chocolate and espresso taste with enough sweetness to balance the alcohol. Clearly one of the best canadian beers.

Thick pour, black, with a slow-to-rise brown cap. Sweet coffee cake aroma, very intense! Palate is heavy and velvety, rich layers of sweet chocolate and strong french roast coffee. Finish is long, dry, and a little salty. Wow this is fantastic! Thanks for getting this to me Trev-- a fitting brew for my last Canadian beer for 6 months! Off to New Zealand...

Bottle. Dark black pour with minimal carbonation. Aroma was espresso and not much else. Flavor was robust coffee and a little bit of vanilla on the finish. Very smooth and no notice of alcohol, which is surprising consifering the 9.5 ABV. Wish this one was easier to get and a little cheaper.
