Tap at the Royston Hotel, Melbourne. 6.3%. Poured a murky dark brown with a frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty light caramel malt, dry coffee, liqouirce, chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter with a dry roasty cofee liqouirce hop bitter, slightly oily palate and a lingering liqouirce bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Thanks Victor.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin layer of white foamy head that dissipated at a quick pace. Soft speckled lace.
The aroma started off with fresh sweet to roasty coffee. Some light breadiness and then some caramel malts.
The flavor leans robustly sweet allocating the coffee flavor all over the breadiness, just seems to blend very well. Lingering coffee fresh aftertaste with the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good, somewhat low, but yes, good.
Overall, nice porter. I’d drink more of it if i could get on a daily basis.

(Bottle) Good looking beer - black with a decent dense tan head. Nice aroma that matches the description - it’s clearly porter and coffee Nice palate too - smooth bodied with plenty of gentle carbonation. Taste is a nice balance of coffee and porter too. There’s some nice malty doughy creamy notes that balance the porter well. The finish is mainly coffee. Unusual, interesting, very drinkable.

From a 640ml bottle on 15/8/2015. Pours a deep brown with a big head which disappears quickly. Has a relatively strong pleasant coffee aroma. The flavour is all about coffee too but it’s otherwise quite mild and a touch bland. There’s not much roastiness or bitterness to be had, with a just a bit of sweet chocolate and milk accompanying the coffee. The body is a bit thin and the carbonation average. All up, a bit disappointing, as other MG Cross Breeds and Rare Breeds have been better.

Pours black with a large off-white head.Nose shows coffee, soft roast, little else.Flavours include prominent coffee, bready malt and soft roast.Body feels a bit watery.

Bottle. dark brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of fresh medium roasted coffee, dark sugars. Fairly light bodied. The beer gets a bit more of a look in in the taste, but the main show is the nice coffee. There’s some bread, chocolate, orange peel and a mildly spicy bitterness at the end. More as it warms a little. But mainly coffee.
