Crafted with washed Rwanda Kilimbi coffee from Hard Lines, Stompin’ Grounds is a bold and unashamedly Liquid Mistress-esque Red IPA. This beer melds hearty malt sweetness with a selection of pithy hops to elevate the stunning coffee with tangerine and sherry notes. We love the biscuit and caramel character that has been captured in this edition of our Project Barista lineup, and the specialty malts aid in the subtle roastiness, only edged further by the coffee beans themselves. Hard Lines have been a staff favourite roaster for a long time now, and this is the first time we’ve used washed coffee in this series - which sees the beans roasted in a more natural method.

Can 44 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque brown with a rough, beige head. Nose is buttery toffee with a faint whiff of coffee. Medium body, sweet and caramelly with discreet coffee accents. Some roasty bitterness toward the finish. A somewhat weird creation. 280125
