Meantime Coffee

Deep brown in colour with a long lasting creamy brown coloured head, excellent lacing. The aroma is of weak coffee, some cream, light roast, burnt, malty and sweet. The flavour is sweet with some noticable coffee roast, light smoke. Sweet and roasty mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation. Finishes lingering, sweet with just a hint of black coffee bitterness.

The coffee is there but never in the forefront, quite nice all around.

Unsurprisingly, the coffee flavours dominate this dark brown, almost black, beer. although typically of a porter there are also notes of chocolate and roast. This is one of the better porters I’ve had this year.

A true rich bold roasted coffee flavor throughout. A very nice night cap beer, super coffee like, so if you dont care for that nevermind with this. On the other hand, if you are a coffee fanatic, try this!

Bottle: The aroma has strong notes of burnt popcorn, roasted coffee, and faint chocolate. It pours a dark brown, but is more of a transparent garnet when held to the light. It has a large khaki head with great retention. The flavor starts with a nice dose of slightly sweet chocolate that turns to moderately roasted coffee finish. No notes of burnt popcorn in the flavor. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. I really like the flavor of the beer, but the burnt popcorn is an aroma killer.

0,33l bottle. Light brown head. Very dark brown colour, oblique. Pleasant sweet aroma with rich coffee and chocolate. Flavour of coffee is very strong. Feels like this is borderline coffee-beer. Chocolate also follows. Pretty well balanced, maybe a little too much coffee. If there’s a beer suited for a dessert, this must be the one.
