A full-bodied, decadently smooth coffee beer in collaboration with local roaster Darkwoods.

7 different malts combine with 3 different coffees added at 2 different points during the brew to create a sweet toffee, rich fruit and chocolate depth, accented with notes of vanilla, and hazelnut.

Brewed with coffee, cocoa nibs and vanilla, this beer is designed with texture, aroma and deliciousness in mind. Brewed to celebrate locality and a shared philosophy in creative quality.

Many thanks to SimonTomlinson. 33cl can. Fantastic smooth mild coffee beginning. Velvet chocolate, smooth mild roast with hints of burned chocolate. Vanilla in the back, lots of smooth roast and hints of grain. Nice.

Probably about as perfect as the style can get. It's got that cold brewed taste, but just a touch to make it up front but not overwhelming. Balanced with a full bodied background creamy porter. online craftbeer-shop.com

Le café fort et torréfié domine l’olfactif. Notes de chocolat et vanille également perçues. Liquide brun foncé avec reflets rougeâtres et tout à fait limpide se couvrant d’une mousse de grosseur et de densité moyenne. Café bien amère en bouche qui se perpétue jusqu’en finale. Notes de chocolat. La torréfaction fait sentir sa présence tout au long du processus. Des houblons terreux accompagnent la finale et contribuent à accentuer l’amertume. Le corps est moyennement léger et l’effervescence un peu trop vive. L’intense torréfaction rehausse l’amertume profonde. Produit agréable et sans prétention.
