A dark and rich blend of six varieties of malt provides the base for the locally ground Arabica coffee beans to stand up and shout flavour! Thanks to the Inverness Coffee Roasting Co for roasting such flavourful beans.

500ml bottle. Black pour with a tan head which doesn’t last too long. Aroma: coffee, roasted malt, smoke. Taste: same as the aroma, also some smokey/burnt notes, dark burnt fruits. Smooth palate, bitter but less so than I expected, dryish finish, medium body. Liked it but nothing special for me.

Black beer, brown head that reduced from being quite thick to thin and filmy. Bitter, coffee aroma. Bitter coffee in the taste as well, though there’s a touch of fruit up front to lend it a bit of sweetness and in the aftertaste there’s a slightly creamy quality. Nice rich, earthy stout.

Medium brown head. Opaque black body. Earthy mealy cold coffee aroma. Sweet earthy cold coffee taste with resiny notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel, slightly flat. Dryish roasty fruity aftertaste with earthy mealy notes. A little bit lacking in bitterness. Nice, though. (0.5l bottle, from odd bins, Edinburgh.)

Bottle from Oddbins Beer Shop, Blackheath. Black pour with a beige head. Aromas of chocolate, burnt toast, coffee and smoke. Flavours of coffee, black cherry and ash. Mellow throat burn. Quite pleasant.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle! Malzig-röstiger Antrunk. Süffig, etwas dünn, aber trotzdem vollmundig. Röstmalz-Kaffee, feinherb, nicht zu tief. Intensives Röstmalz mit Espresso, etwas dickflüssig, lecker.

Bottle at home split with Sarah. Picked up from Brewdog online. Opaque black coloured pour with a medium loose tan head. Aroma is spicy veg coffee bean and slightly ashy roast and nutty praline. Flavour is dry roasted barley with nice fresh raw coffee bean, little bit of spicy. Palate is medium light and chalky on the tongue. Bit of dark choc lingers with some. Well brewed with no noticeable flaws, could do with some more body perhaps.
