Critical Temperature was aged for a month on 4 kilos of coffee beans, allowing a long and slow extraction of the essential compounds, and a fantastic aroma to develop. The beer is a big and rich beast, with a massive nutty, chocolatey and roasty nose and the unmistakeable aroma of a freshly brewed espresso. It is intensely smooth and rounded, lots of rich sweet chocolate, roast and biscuit provided by the coffee and malts merging perfectly. We are exceptionally proud of this beer, and think it highlights the amazing coffee produced by The Blending Rooms, and also the pride we take in producing top quality beer.

Black beer, thick foamy head. Coffee aroma comes off it even while pouring. Flavour is heavy on the coffee too, with toasted malt, a touch of dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Good body to it. This is pretty good.

Cam from RAD, I think. Appearance - deep brown to almost opaque black. Tan head which is generous. Nose - dark chocolate and coffee, of course. There's a lurking raw, green coffee bean note. Taste - dark yet creamy chocolate, fresh coffee and that green unripe bean thing again. Palate - creamy texture, medium bodied. Lightly roasty finish. Overall - nice.
