Shake off and wake up with our powerful and rich mocha porter, Red Eye Flight. It starts with our rich and roasty blend of seven malts, before adding in high-quality organic cacao and finishing off with a cold-infusion of Three Hills Coffee’s Sumatran coffee beans, roasted exactly to our specification. Crack one open to unleash a waft of fresh ground coffee aroma, followed by a smooth mouthfeel, and creamy toffee, coffee acidity, and bitter cocoa nib flavour.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, with fine cappuccino foam. Aroma is malty and chocolate. Body is partially dense, with moderate carbonation. Taste is heavily toasted, with good sweetness and some roasty bitterness. Final keeps a good mouthful, but not particularly long.

Bottle from Hopt. Heavy coffee aroma with roasted malt, mocha, beany coffee, espresso, some chocolate. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate roasty bitterness. Body is medium. Very tasty Coffee Porter, strikes the right chord with me.

I'm heading back to England after four days in Edinburgh, but the train is still very much in Scotland so this could count as one last beer in the country. It's a very stated coffee porter, enhanced by its strength, which of course is well hidden other than its very good body.

Аромат резкий, на любителя, очень специфический, похоже на какао бобы и очень горький шоколад. Цвет красивый очень темный с кремовой-кофейной пеной. Вкус более гладкий нежели запах. Довольно сладкий, ощущаются какао бобы, жженый солод, шоколад. При глотке сильно бьет ароматом кофе и кофейных зерен. Имеется легкая кислинка а также намек на карамель. В целом весьма на любителя.

Black beer, thick beige head. Aroma has coffee and malt. Flavour follows suit. Plenty of coffee, aniseed, toasty malt, some bitter chocolate, a little toffee. Earthy, roasty flavour. Lovely.

Bottle, 0.33l. Thick black pour, no head, just very thin brown layer on top. Minimal lacing. Nice on the nose, strong roasted malt and coffee notes. Full body, soft carbonation. Creamy texture, very chewy. Smooth. Roasty bittersweet taste. Huge coffee aroma, roasted malts and coffee beans, cocoa and dark chocolate. Caramel and toffee in the background, mild lingering alcohol burn. Warming, pleasantly liquory. Long finish, dry. Very good.

Tap at Craft Room. Pitch black body with a creamy brownish head, nearly a 5. Big, very pleasant, sweetish coffee aroma - the coffee dominating everything. Dry taste, rows of nuts and coffee, along with some dark bread. An excellent porter by all means. Not my favorite in the world, but very well made and I'd have it again (multiple times).
