An affogato is an Italian dessert of a couple of scoops of gelato topped with hot espresso. We were inspired so we made a beer with a dense and flavourful body choc-full of coffee flavor. Our friends at Old Town Coffee made a custom espresso roast special for this dark treat. The beer is topped with vanilla and a hint of strawberry to round it up.

Draught@TCBW2023. Black colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted tones, mild vanilla with some slight peanuts too. Flavour is coffee, vanilla, some mild roasted tones with a bit bittery old cold coffee tones too. Smooth. A good reason to smile, when you come accross this kind of goodies still close to the end of the fest.

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is intense, ashy-roasty. Coffee, dark chocolate. Thick body, low carbo. Whiff of vanilla, perhaps ? All seems great, but the balance or smoothness really lacks. Decent, but not amongst the true greats.

Black beer, thin tan head. Loads of coffee in the aroma. Flavour, again, leads with lots of coffee, some sweet fruit, vanilla, a bit of milk chocolate, a big malty base to it. Not massively complex, just a few big flavours balanced perfectly and absolutely hitting the spot in a big, rich and warming stout. Lovely stuff.

Servida en schnifter, color negro opaco, espuma marrón cremosa y espesa. En nariz huele que alimenta a chocolate, café, malta torrefacta, brownie, vainilla, aroma muy goloso. En boca es densa, oleosa, cuerpazo cremoso, notas de café expreso, bizcocho de chocolate, tiramisú, pan quemado, con un fondo de sirope de fresa. Bastante dulce y medianamente amarga. Una gochada de birra, supergolosa, para disfrutar como un gorrino. Gora Basqueland eta bere garagardoak txerri bezala gozatzeko

440ml can. Pours black with a dark brown head. Aroma of coffee, roast malts, chocolate. Taste of bitter coffee, roast malts, molasses, caramel, vanilla, strawberry is pretty tame so it's hard to notice it, overall bittersweet with a very warming boozy finish. Thick.
