On tap at Damián. This is actually quite good for a brewery supposed to be closed last two years. Aroma is pure coffee, in taste not really though. Good anyway.

50cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell. A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; jammy aroma; sweet jammy taste with some orange and lemon; and a lemonade-like acidity adding a touch of bitterness. Seems to be over-pasteurised to me.
