A big bodied stout inspired by Café de Olla combining a hit of coffee with notes of cinnamon & a sweet smooth finish. Strangers Coffee in Norwich selected & roasted the Bom Jesus beans that were added cold to the fermenter bringing notes of chocolate, hazelnut & praline.

Can purchased at new brewery located in Diss: Poured a deep black with a light brown head. Aroma is huge coffee, espresso from the pop of the can, nutty, hazelnut, soft cinnamon. Taste is very rich roasted malts, cinnamon, light coffee, nutty. Good beer, but cinnamon is my archenemy these days if used.
