This wonderful rich stout is made with freshly roasted Columbian coffee beans from our friends Mozzo in Southampton.
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.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is dry coffee, roasty liqourice malt, light chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich burnt toast malt, coffee, light molasses, liqourice bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Opaque brown beer, tidy tan head. Light coffee nose. Palate is dry and a little crisp. Dry dark malts, touch of cream. Medium earthy coffee, mild tang. Bone dry finish. Strong coffee linger. All about the coffee but well over dry.
