Project Barista combines two of our greatest passions, beer and coffee, and plays with the relationship between them. Four unique beers, four kinds of coffee used in different ways, in collaboration with four incredible independent roasters. Building on Mucha Mocha (no mean feat), this imperial stout is injected with coffee at every possible step of the process, swirling through rich, smooth cocoa.

Draught Tan-rust head, fast reduced to rim over jet-black beer. Coffee, mocha, sweet sugared coffee, roast. Sweet, brown candi sugar, and again mocha, sweetened coffee cream. Full bodied, viscous, mild carbonation. Rather conventional, nothing new. And lots of sweetness.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black, stable, foamy, dark beige head. Complex aroma of coffee variations: coffee bean, cappuccino, mocha (biscuit), Kahlúa, chocolate sauce, candied date, prune. Taste has sweet candied date & fig in a thick dark-chocolatey, pecan-nutty malt body; a bitter layer of coffee & mocha, some cream and a vague hint of umami soy sauce. Soft earthy hops in the finish, lingering sweet mocha, cream and warming coffee liqueur-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Rich, creamy and quite complex but lacking a bit more bitter roastiness.

440ml can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur city centre. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, frothy tan head. The aroma is big molasses, earthy. The flavour is strong sweet, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, oily, herbal, sugary light liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Nice, but overly sweet.
