Gyle No. 431. This Brown Ale is our second collaboration with our friends and Square Mile Coffee Roasters for Uppers and Downers annual coffee beer festival. We selected two roast profiles of Yandaro coffee beans from Burundi with 20kg in a hot side steep, and 24kg in a cold side steep. A 1kg addition of slow infused fresh vanilla pods add complexity and sweetness.

Can at home. Really not sure why i sat on this one for so Long. A dark cola brown coloured pour with a fading light tan head. Aroma is woody coffee, kamp coffee, brown sugars, cinnamon. Flavour is composed of nice sticky brown sugars, sticky toffee, cola, woody coffee, little faded, sweet coffee. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, oily, moderate carbonation . Still holds up.

Dyp rødbrun. Lavt tett skum som etterlater teppelacing. Karamellaroma. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken søt. Mest karamell. Lett tørr avslutning. Ble litt tungdrikkelig.

(Draught at Muted Horn, Berlin, 22 July 2018) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with caramel, dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Malty, sweet taste with notes of caramel, coffee, vanilla, dark fruit, prunes and a mild roasty bitterness. More than medium body, quite sweet. A bit sweet, but well rounded and tasty. Nice one.

Can a team home in Hackney - sourced from the brewery shop. Pours deep brown with a dense, frothy khaki head. Not overly sweet, nice gooey chocolate, milky coffee, raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and soft, velvety texture. Sweet finish, lightly sticky, more rounded coffee, chocolate, light roast. Fun and very drinkable.

Tap @ Pigalle, Sangenjaya, Tokyo. Dark brown pour, hazy actually, not too much beige foam. Nutty, light cocoa and coffee nose here, touch of vanilla also but not too gimmicky. Tastes chocolaty, good amount of coffee latte, touch of acidity there but mainly malty, nutty and with a good level of coffee. Finishes dry with light bitterness.

Draft. A brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of nuts, bread, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and fruits, leading to a bitter finish.
