COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Avaialable in 330ml bottles only. Cold fermented and lagered.
May be known as Coffee Porter.
Our first formulation of this beer was the first UK brewed beer to carry the Fairtrade logo, and although we have reformulated it to create an even better blend better the malt and roast coffee flavours and can no longer get enough coffee in each bottle to qualify for Fairtrade status, we are still using the same Faitrade Araba Bourbon beans from Rwanda’s Abuhuzamugambi Co-operative. At the Meantime Brewing Co we love flavour, so it wasn’t exactly difficult for us to see how the scents and aromas of coffee and barley would create a perfect match like just like mint and lamb, toffee and banana, peaches and cream, peanut butter and jam. Serve lightly chilled with as many chocolate truffles as your conscience allows.

lliams (84) - Hawthorn, AUSTRALIA - MAY 3, 2013
compared to the taste the nose is way restrained... i love the colour of this. like bright brown... flavour is intense and all up front. falls away quickly so it’s pretty light on the palate. but that upfront flavour is so tasty

Beer3000 (3720) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 2, 2013
500 ml bottle sampled in 2006. Beautiful dark amber, close to black body with a big, cremay tan head. Lovely aroma as well, coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor of sweet, dark malt, strong coffee, dark chocolate and hint of dry fruit. Full body and a long and smooth aftertaste with lots of coffee. A nice one for the coffee enthusiasts.

bluejacket74 (992) - Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA - APR 19, 2013
11.2 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a dark copper/brown color with about a half inch light tan head that went away quickly. However, there’s a good amount of lacing. Aroma is nice, the brew smells mostly like coffee, along with some roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate. I think the taste is pretty much like the aroma, but there’s also some grainy malt and some nutty flavor, too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit slick and goes down easy. It’s good and worth a try, but pricey at $4.99 a bottle.

Lilja (952) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 15, 2013
Smak och doft av humle, malt, choklad, kaffe. Saknar kropp och är lite väl vattnig. Liten beska som avrudar det hela.
