Kick-start pours an opaque black and the aroma is dark roasted malts with a big kick of coffee/espresso.
The taste leads with full-bodied dark roasted coffee upfront and oats inject a nice smooth texture to finish.
Previously called Radicale Oat and Coffee Stout.

Keg at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Very dark brown with a thin tan head. Coffee and marshmallows on the nose, with a bit of chocolate and candy sugar. Taste is unsurprisingly sweet, but not impossibly so, with the coffee notes dominant in the finish. Slight sourness of yeast extract in the aftertaste. Full body and carbonation. Lovely.

Tap @ De Molen. Black. Malt, roast, cacao and coffee in the aroma. Malty te fairly dry, roasty flavor with coffee and licorice. Nice.

Black with a tan head. Coffee dominates, with quite a strong roastiness. There's some smooth chocolate behind, and a slightly dry finish. It's quite a nice stout, but for me not quite up to the ratings it's getting here.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Lovely coffee stout. It lacks a bit of body in my opinion, but it makes up for it with an amazing coffee flavour. Dry finish. Lovely.
