50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours black with some red hues with a thin but nice fawn crema. The nose has unground coffee beans then cream and burnt toast. The taste has more creamy coffee with a bitter chocolate finish. The palate is medium bodied, rich in texture with a finish that isn’t cloying though which you could not describe as being very clean.

Cask at the PSBH 30th August 2012. Not a bad brew, good coffee flavour, I would not go mad over this though

Bottle from Tomlinson’s beer shop, Inverness and also fresh straight from the brewery! It pours pretty much black, with a thin off-white head. The nose is rich coffee, roasted malt, cocoa powder and a touch of dark fruit. The taste is rich coffee, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, light acidity from the coffee, light creaminess, dark fruit and charcoal, with a very dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Really good rich coffee flavour. A very accomplished and flavoursome brew at this percentage. Well done Chappy!
