Barista is a rich roasty coffee stout. A roasty yet creamy mouthfeel caries the subtle taste of Espresso coffee which we add in ground Arabica form at the end of the boil. This beer has the roast bitterness you’d expect from coffee but it also has a subtle sweetness in the finish, a real pick-me-up of a beer!

Cask@Southampton Arms, London. Black colour with a small brown head. Aroma is espresso coffee, roast and some liquorice with mild fruits. Flavour is being strong coffee with some mild roasted maltyness. Most other flavours are killed by coffee.

Cask @ The Bow, Edinburgh 140712
Jet black, creamy tan head with some lacing
Aroma - Smooth good quality coffee aroma, not astringent, mellow coffee, soft espresso, dark roasted malts
Taste - lots of smooth coffee, really nicely done and mellow, soft roasted malts, some chocolate malts. Not particularly complex but the flavour is really good for a coffee stout.
Palate - soft carb, medium body, smooth silky texture. Finish as main flavour, smooth dark malts.
Overall - It’s a coffee stout and it does the job really well - even people who hate coffee might like this. I have tried the bottled version in the past - it really works better on cask.

Strawberries cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring.
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Black colour with a fine small creamy beige head. Roasted malt and coffe nose. They have really done this weel. It really taste espresso. So for those who like espresso(like me) this is good stuff. But why not change the name to Summer beer :-)

Cask, Philarmonic, Liverpool. Swarthy black looks with a mid range lingering tan head. Coffee laden snout . Pleasantly full and rich flavour with notes of dark choc, roasted malts, further coffee and a little hop bitterness. Some building dryness emerged towards the finish. Slid down a treat, good stuff.
