Péché Mortel (Imperial Stout Au Cafe)
12oz bottle into a C&B Bruges snifter. A - Pours pitch black with a burnt caramel color tight,creamy one finger head. Excellent head retention and lacing left as the head slowly comes down.. S - This beer explodes with dark roast coffee, roasted malts and bitter chocolate aromas. Slight hints of licorice and vanilla. I'm also getting slight heat as i inhale deeply. T - This is easily one of the best imperial coffee stouts i have ever had. The coffee flavors here are incredibly smooth. Although its strong, the coffee is not over powering. Its so well balanced. Its got some slight sweetness and makes the after taste remind me of some very high end dark chocolates. M - Thick and chewy. Medium carbonation. D - The 9.5% abv is pretty well hidden making this one very drinkable.
