This particular coffee from Mormora plantation in the Guji zone of Sidamo is dry processed – which means the picked, ripe cherries are fermented in the sun and then the pulp is removed from the seed without the use of water, creating berry-fruit flavours. Combining this with the aromatics of Citra and Centennial hops, knuckles is the perfect harmony between coffee and beer.

Can into shaker. Thanks to Beer Cartel and Ratebeer. Slightly hazy golden beer with a foamy white head and high fine carbonation. Nice nose, some pine, some grass, nice sweet vanilla. Sharp sparkly mouthfeel with good body. Really interesting beer, lingering dried berry finish follows pine needles and vanilla malt. Very nice.

Can from Beer Cartel & #ratebeersupertasters. This is a tough one. I've loved this beer on tap over the years as a big vanilla heavy, oaky almost Belgian IPA. This canned version is a shadow of that behemoth. Too timid, too subtle, too marginal. I wanted so much more from this.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, sweet vanilla, oak and some alcohol. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a dry vinous, smooth, dry sweet vanilla, light tart grapefruit, vinous, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Cask at The Local Taphouse, Melbourne. Hazy amber. Restrained grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Slight caramel and pine, mere hints of wood. Resiny bitter finish. Had to double check with the bartender he poured me the right beer.

Tap. Gold with a white head. Intense kumquat aroma with some pine and flowers. Vanilla and vinous oaky notes are there but don’t overwhelm. But they do in the taste. Normal Hop Hog (to me) is a great-smelling but middling-tasting beer and here the beer flavours are just swamped by sharp oak. Some caramel sweetness. Oaky finish.
