Guaranteed to put a smile on any face, this rich, robust coffee-infused porter is our nod to The Peak District’s enigmatic face-shaped rock formation, the ‘Winking Man’. Made in collaboration with our good friends at Buxton Coffee Roasters.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Black colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of coffee, roast malts and dark chocolate. The flavour has the same elements, the coffee seems nicely balanced (unlike many other coffee porters / stouts), maybe there's a tad too much lactose, but the beer is not extremely sweet. Moderate bittering hops. Well worth sampling.

Sesongstart på Mi2 aug-26: brunsvart med fint, storboblet skum som varer lenge. kaffe, mørke chokolader, ristet brød. Ren, elegant og meget lettdrikkelig, så vi lot oss alle sjarmere av denne. Kanskje kveldens beste?

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Black, rich, firm head. Intense coffee aroma. Sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Lovely coffee with too much sugar, some syrup. Low bitterness.

Black colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is toasted, roasted, nutty and some mid caramel tones with a bit coffee as well. Flavour is quite similar. Very nicely balanced.
