Taking its name from both Mokha, a historical port city for the distribution of African coffees, and the Sidamo province in Ethiopia, Mokasida is a regional blend of coffees that showcases the subtle characteristics of East African beans. When paired with the chocolate and roast character of our imperial stout, Mokasida imparts notes of cocoa, blueberry, and sweet potatoes to make a truly unique beer.

On tap at the BeerTemple. Compared to the regular speedway stout this is maybe lacking a tad in complexity and depth, but the Ethiopian coffee (my favourite region for coffee) is showcased beautifully. Indeed those hints of blueberry that are a feature in some naturally processed Ethiopian coffees is there, both in aroma as well as flavour, as well as a truly smooth coffee flavour in general. Some acidity too, which is not really surprising. Not quite as well-rounded as the regular or some other versions but very nice if one likes Ethiopian coffee

Keg at Cotteridge Convention 2017 - cheers! Pours oily black with a creamy, beige head. Good rich roast in the aroma, coffee, ash. Big sweet flavour with lots of burnt sugars, ashy roast, mocha. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly sticky, more ash, bittersweet cocoa. Good stuff.
