12oz glass at the DDC Péché Mortel event at Beer Rev Edmonton. 9.5% ABV.

This beer appears a fairly solid black, with a subtle cascading effect, which leads to the single fat finger of mildly puffy, and certainly creamy ecru head, as well as an undulating wall of tacky snow rime lace around the glass upon its slow and steady retreat.

It smells of bready caramel malt, subtle cold coffee, chalky bittersweet cocoa powder, weak anise candies, a soft earthy and leafy hoppiness, and a whiff of sneaky booze. The taste is gritty caramel malt, weak coffee, milk chocolate, a touch of sour cream, root beer-adjacent licorice, a bit more toffee as it warms, and leafy, earthy, and somewhat perfumed floral hops.

The bubbles are pretty well blended into the ether, as barely a timid frothiness arises, the body a solid medium-heavy weight, and smooth like most of us just wish we were. It finishes sweet, the cocoa and caramel essences holding the fort against the as unyet threatening booziness (it is an incarnation of Péché Mortel, after all).

I'm not altogether sure what makes this a 'special' rendition of the base beer - it has all the hallmarks, yeah, except for the one that initially lured me in - novelty, newness, whatever you call it. Yeah, not this beer's fault, per se, but I don't think that I need another comparative glass of near 10% stout to figure that out.
