Drafted in Two Brothers Coffee, Altrincham for this one. For a quality coffee hit we had them roast and grind loads of their finest beans for the mash and then had them create a super potent cold brew that went straight into the fermenters. The most potent cold brew they've ever done gives smooth coffee flavour to this very quaffable low abv porter - Cocoa nib and powder additions finish it perfectly.

Bradford Beer Festival 2020 and at the Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Was slightly better at the latter. Near black with a good enough roasted flavour for its too obvious weak strength.

Cask at Manchester Beer and Cider Festival: Poured a deep brown with thin off-white head. Aroma seems of cocoa and peanut butter. Taste is smooth milky chocolate.
