Collaboration beer devised by beer bloggers Rob from Hopzine and Rich from The Beer Cast.
The guys chose to collaborate on a beer that really embodied what a writer needs to get those cogs turning; coffee for a pick-me-up and chocolate for a sweet kick and they added oatmeal for a Scottish twist. The beer is a 6.5% milk, oatmeal, chocolate coffee stout. They joined us at our old stomping ground, the original BrewDog brewery in Fraserburgh (affectionately known as the Dystopian Puppet Hobby Centre), for a brew day to help us make the beer.
Rob and Rich have named the beer Dead Metaphor, after a lot of the nomenclature and meaningless buzz words and phrases that are bandied about in the world of beer writing. This beer should be sipped for instant inspiration.

Bottle at home, 21st December 14. Mocha on the aroma, taste is chocolate, and coffee, slight vanilla. Palate slightly thin, and a little too much carbonation. Not bad

330 ml bottle at home. Black color with beige brown frothy-creamy head. Aroma is roasted malty, cocoa and chocolate. Taste is sweet and heavy bitter the same like the aroma, with chocolate and cocoa to be the dominant flavors, coffee too. almost medium body, oily, soft carbonation, nice bitter chocolate aftertaste.

Tap at CBC 2014. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Malty aroma with chocolate notes. Starts strong-malty, not too roasty, chocolate notes. Light earthy. Finish warming-malty. Aftertaste with chocolate notes. Nice!

Bottle at home. The colour is black with a medium, light brown, creamy head. Roasted aroma with coffee, dark chocolate, ash, licorice, leather, soy sauce and forest floor. The flavour is more roasted with coffee beans, ash and very dark chocolate. Has a rich and silky mouth feel, and a medium bitterness. A well-roasted and pleasant stout.

Botella de 33 cl en la internacional en el momento el 05-08-2014. Lote 018 hasta 17-07-2015. Color negro intenso brillante con buena capa de espuma beige. Aromas suaves ahumados y lácticos con chocolate y cacao. Cuerpo medio con 6.4 vol y un enorme sabor. Sabores bastante intensos, tostados, ahumados ligeramente especiados (vainilla) y con tonos grandes de lácteos y chocolate y cacao. Suave suave y fresco amargo final ligeramente herbáceo. Bastante buena, para repetir sin duda.

Bouteille:Almost black, big loose off-white head - that slowly collapses; moderate to solid dryish toasty-ashy nose, completed by caramel and dried fruits; medium bodied and really soft, moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour; lingering finish with flavours of dark fried fruits, roasted malt and some hops, bitter aftertaste. Very well rounded and tasty stuff…
