Our take on the Double-Double is double the coffee and double the dry-hopping! We used Mosaic for a deep berry character, with Amarillo and Ekuanot bolstering the strong hop character. A higher than normal mashing temperature gives a residual sweetness, helped with allergen-free hazelnut extract and some vanilla. The Peruvian Huabal coffee comes via Pharmacie Coffee Roasters, and provides notes of baked apple and orange marmalade with a sweet and full toffee body.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of coffee, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, lemons, hops, caramel, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Pours a hazy gold with a short lived pale cream colour head. Wasn’t expecting a beer this colour to be frank! Smooth if light hops provide a modicum or sweetness, a little cream. Berry hop character, some light Mosaic blueberry. Pine. The lightest and smoothest cappuccino vibe integrates well. Smooth semi dry finish. Good stuff, I mean good for a coffee pale ale. Pretty drinkable whilst never really singing.

A lovely golden coffee pale. A style I've only discovered but this a splendid variant thereof. Decent crisp hop in there along with the coffee. Like it.

Bottle bought at the beerkoning in Amsterdam. Pours a quite clear gold with a reddish/orange tint. Very little carbonation and also little head. Aroma is malty and clean, a tad caramel and biscuit maybe and quite a lot of fruity coffee. Medium body. Flavour has a lovely balance, malty and sweet but not too much. Good hop flavour but nothing intense - considering it's DDH the coffee comes out more than the hops. Still a nice hop profile which is mostly floral and fruity, maybe some berries but might also be from coffee. The coffee is indeed rather dominant, but I like it - it's not overbearing and goes well with the malt profile. Really fruity coffee, with notes of berries and nice intermingling with hops to give a citrusy finish, which is rather dry. Lovely pale ale!
