Cold brew coffee, milk sugar and a huge amount of oats almost makes this beer a justifiable alternative to breakfast. You Won’t Believe It’s Not A Dark Beer!

Can at home in London - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies, Bloomsbury. Pours unclear orange-copper with a creamy, off-white head. The nose holds bready malts, a hint of toast and toffee, impressions of coffee and dry cocoa. Medium sweet flavour with chewy, bready and lightly toasted malts, some further cocoa character, a little bitter coffee, touches of ripening citrus, earth. Medium bodied with oily texture and average carbonation. Finishes with a little boozy warmth, more coffee, toasted sugars, flourishes of bittersweet cocoa that seem to not come from roasted malts. It is certainly and interesting and fairly fun beer. The beer calls itself a ’white stout’, which I suppose is what it is. Overall, it drinks pretty good, so I’m happy.

Can. Nose is smoke, chocolate, oats, lactose, sweet smoke. Apperance, is a hazy orange - I am not sure it works for me - it just doesn’t match the nose or taste. Taste is pronounced smoke (a little Innis and Gunn?), coffee, a marked hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is slick. Others clearly like this, but I found it disjointed, and synthetic tasting.

Tried at the Stoneworks, Peterborough. Slightly murky brown colour with a thin white head. The aroma is chocolate coffee at certain stoutish. Taste light sweet. Certainly now what I expected.

Cask Pub & Kitchen. Keg. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, good fine carbonation. Sweet malts, spicy toffee. Touch of banana esters. Dried fruits with a modestly bright orange rising above. Whisper of coffee. Light semi dry finish. Tasty enough.

Keg @ Birmingham Beer Bash 2015. Last beer of the night so things were a bit hazy & notes unreadable. Pours hazy amber. Decent coffee and lactic notes with a comforting sweetness. Decent.
