Palate - very low carb....bit flat...texture a little too thin but smooth. Finish as main flavour..some nice coffee on the tail
Mellow porter with soft blended coffee but a bit thin and flat. Would like to try this again.

Keg @ Brauadar. Almost black colour, not much head. Coffee malt aroma & flavour. A bit watery texture. Decent, not great.

[cask at Cloisters, Edinburgh] Black beer with a thin white lacing from the cask pour. Weak coffee nose – quite a lot of smoky ash on the nose as well. Roasty on the palate, touch of sweetness, with a definite tobacco finish. Coffee comes out at the end as well. Interesting stuff [09112011]

On cask at the Black Isle Tap Takeover at Cloisters. Pours a very dark red - brown colour with a thin, light tan head. Aroma of coffee, caramel and chocolate. Similar flavours with roasty malt also. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Very nice with lingering coffee.
