 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today. I'm going to be doing a beer called Pech Mortel It's an Imperial coffee stout and it is by Brasri due to seal out of Montreal, Canada 9.5% alcohol by volume and it is imported to United States by Shelton Brothers So I have had this beer a long time ago and I remember it having a sour aspect to it It does say it's bottle conditioned. So I don't know if something went awry or if it's kind of supposed to be like that I don't know I didn't like it when I had it some time ago, but then again, I wasn't into sour type beers So I don't know what the deal is we'll find out right here But I will say this is like a two-year-old version of the Pech Mortel. So Don't know what that's gonna mean I would assume that it would mean that the actual coffee notes would be Significantly decreased because I've often heard that that's kind of what happens with Coffee in beers that over the years the the coffee really dies down. So Here we have the poor the Pech Mortel. It was pouring pretty viscous As you can see what you would expect. It's very very dark a little bit brown around the edges It's got some pretty decent legs sticking to the sides. Oh Oh Very very dark chocolatey on the nose. I can smell that coffee too like crazy Smells a little oaky Little oaky note. I don't think it's Barrel age, but I get that kind of aspect in there a little vanilla-y tons and tons and tons of cocoa Wow, I can smell the alcohol coming through as well. It's got that kind of strong Alcohol raisin-y note on the end Smells really good. Okay Well, this is not like the one I had some time ago because that one was kind of sour. This is not at all a Lot of chocolate to it Lot of dark chocolate aspect to it mmm Taste that coffee With a nice roasty aspect to it. It's not like a fresh green coffee It's like a straight-up roasted type coffee Hmm pretty solid Let me see if they're yeah, just Imperial coffee step. Oh, it's brewed with real fair-trade coffee So way to be socially conscious. I like that brezzery doo-doo seal This doesn't blow me away, but it's nice. I like it quite a bit. I Would say when I was smelling it and I was saying I was getting some kind of like Oaky note on the aroma. I feel like I get a kind of like woody oaky aspect on the flavor, too so Maybe it's just me, but I get that but I like it so solid beer not phenomenal, but good nice I would drink it again Peshmortel pretty good This is why it's important to Retry a beer if you have it once and either that batch was off or something happened with the bottle the keg whatever You need to give it a fair chance. Give it a shot Perfect example. This is my second go around with the Peshmortel and wow significantly better than the first time I had it so Awesome brezzery doo-doo seal. Thank you for making interesting beer and thank you everyone for joining me and Go get yourself an awesome beer sip on you
