Unrepentant Sinner

Since somebody didn't agree with my last coffee stout review, I thought I would put another one to test. Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel's Péché Mortel from Quebec, Canada, has recently been made available to Missouri. That's a pretty big deal since Péché Mortel ranks in the Top 20 of BeerAdvocate's Top Beers on Planet Earth. If you like to keep track of that kind of thing. You should be able to find it for about $5-$6

11.2 oz bottle poured into a Boulevard Smokestack goblet.  Very dark creamy brown head.  The head only stands about a half inch from the initial pour.  As it recedes it is unable to maintain lacing.  Color is a silky dark brown that shifts to black.  Thin blood red highlights appear when holding the glass to the light.

Smell has lots of dark chocolate, espresso beans, and a little dark cherry.  Taste is also a bold rush of dark chocolate.  The kind with chunks of cocoa beans in it.  Taste is a little like a red chocolate cake.  Coffee is warm and nutty, pecans and hazelnut.  Mellow snap from the alcohol in the finish.

Mouthfeel has a thick velvety texture.  Chewy body that paints itself across the tongue.  This is a great sipper, and I'm really excited that it is now locally available.
