One of the few flavoured beers of collabfest that I enjoyed. Keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Pours with black with a thin tan head. Aromas of straight up coffee. No messing about. Taste is roasty. Light sweet finish.

Draft at BD Nottingham, as part of Collabfest '25/. Jet black with a slight tan head. Aroma and taste are malty slight bittersweet chocolate, with bags of coffee. A real punch of it. Rich creamy body.

Lovely looking deep dark brown, near black, with a creamy tan head and a milk chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Smooth and creamy, chocolate notes, a hint of coffee bitterness with a roasted malt background, finishes dry and slightly bitter.
