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.

RB backlog. Almost black body with a brown head. Milky coffee, dark chocolate, cake, more coffee. Light sweetness, minerals, a hint of coffee sourness. Light body with pearly, good carbonation. This one I'd gladly buy again.

Can at home. Pours a dark brown to black colour wita light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee beans, nougat, ash, oak and dark chocolate. Flavour of ash, roasted malt, grass and coffee. Has a slick and a little soft mouth feel, medium body and light bitterness. Well-roasted and tasteful.

Tap at Angleterre, Helsinki. Color is dark brown with very small brownish head. Aromas and flavors: Strong coffee, dryness and roasted malts. Good coffee porter with easy gentle body.

Sincerely disappointed...the body is too thin for the style and the coffee flavor is very mild.
