Keg at CBC Clerko, 24/04/17. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent beige head. Nose is big on fresh coffee grinds, charr, light roast, spice, toffee. Taste comprises lesser coffee notes, chocolate, roast malts, light fruit esters, brown bread, fruit loaf. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid coffee stout ... more so on the nose.

Keg at CBC Clerko for the tap takeover. Clear nut brown reddy coloured pour with a lasting beige head. Aroma is nice, bug fresh coffee spicy coffee bean, woody roast. Fresh coffee. Flavour is composed of woody coffee bean, veg pepper, hint of choc powder. Faint vanilla. Palate is medium full bodied, moderate carbonation si drying finish. Really nice coffee character.

Keg at CBC Clerks - London. Pours clear ruby-brown with a tight, creamy tan head. A bit of coffee in the snout, Dunkin Donuts joe, mild roast, dry cocoa. Light sweet flavour with well toasted brown bread, earthy hops, bitter coffee. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, some mocha, espresso, moderate roast. Nice one.
