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.

Black with thin creamy head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of earthy coffee and roasted, burnt malt. Background hints of liquorice and chocolate.

From tap at Craft & Draft with Huub. Almost black, little foam. But what a good aroma and taste. Both come with chocolate and coffee. A must drink beer!

Tap @Craft & Draft, Amsterdam. Even better than the bottled version. The tap version has more freshness. A rich and tasty porter indeed. Bottled version [12/4/16]. Pitch black, good tan head, half-way lasting, good lacing. Coffee nose, rich aroma roasted malts, cocoa, mocha, coffee, brown sugar. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, chocolate, espresso. Smooth sweetbitter aftertaste, lingering chocolate and coffee in the finish. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, rich and round porter, excellent.
