Dieu du Ciel! Dernière Volonté

The Péché Mortel is an intensely black and dense beer with very pronounced roasted flavors. Fair-trade coffee is infused during the brewing process, helping to intensify the bitterness of the beer and giving it a powerful coffee taste. Brewed to be savored, we invite you to drink it with moderation. This stout style, high in alcohol and bitterness in order to favor preservation, was originally 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.
