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.

1/3 pint, from keg at Friends of Ham in Leeds. Shiny black surface to a pitch black body. Dotted spots to the glass. Roasted malty smell with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Flavoured with coffee grounds and dark fruits. Dry ending. Okay, rather unvaried though (07.07.2014).

Bottle from Tomlinson’s Beer Shop, Inverness. Almost black in colour with a thin beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. Semi-sweet, with a lasting bitter chocolate/coffee finish. For a stout, quite a light body, and rather thin in texture, with soft carbonation.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Bristol Beer Festival, March 2014. Near black with a slight tan head. Big, roasted coffee beans, some dense malts, a hint of dark fruit and lingering dry finish. Very good.

Bottled 500ml (AbM)
Deep ruby color, small steady beige head. Coffeish-ashy nose. Light-bodied. Toasted malty, tobacco ashy (from coffee?) then some licorice in the finish. Tobacco ash is not my favourite flavor in beer but behind that, it is decent light stout.

500ml bottle shared at home. Dark brown with a decent tan head. Coffee aromas, not surprisingly, some biscuit malt. Taste has more of the same, bitter coffee finish. OK.

500ml bottle. Ruby red glowing, almost black colour with average, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Dark malty aroma with notes of cold coffee. Taste is roasty dark malty, notes of cold coffee, subtle sweetness; dry, hoppy finish. Light and slightly watery. Relatively simple but nice and tasty.

Bottle. Black body with a beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of coffee, malt, cranberry and plum. Flavour of malt, blueberry, red apple and coffee. Medium body with a slick body. Soft fizz. A really well made Porter with a nice depth. An excellent beer from one of Scotland’s best, most consistent (and most underrated) breweries.
