A dark roasted coffee and vanilla porter with a hint of danger. A nod to the speed-crazed bikers who risked life and limb to race from one greasy spoon café to the next.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Paul. Almost clear dark red - brown beer, thin pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Earthy dark malts, fair bit of espresso. Mild but bitterish dark chocolate. Light dry espresso finish. Very coffee.

Pours inky black, with almost no head. Aroma is dominated by coffee and roast dark malt. Taste- smooth roasty coffee, bitter dark chocolate, espresso, burnt toast hint of vanilla, burnt malty finish. A bit ’charred’, but not bad.
