COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In showcasing the distinct flavour of the Rwandan Gashonga coffee, we firstly looked to enhance it's mouthfeel. A grist featuring equal parts roast barley and chocolate malt to start, before loading in lactose for creaminess and boiling for two hours to thicken the wort, leaving us a leaving us a silky temptress of a beer. At the whirlpool we added a solid hop charge of Bramling Cross, Northdown and Galena all of which contribute dark berry character to compliment the similar hints from the coffee. The final touch was to introduce subtle measures of almonds and cherries, to underly, but not detract, from the complex coffee character we introduced through 8kg of freshly ground Rwandan Gashonga.

rodsquad (1604) - Aberdeen, SCOTLAND - JAN 5, 2019
UPDATED: JAN 5, 2019 Can from Noble Hops. Sharp dried fruits with heaps of coffee and milky chocolate. Tastes delicious. Smooth and silky coffee milk with bitter roast, plenty chocolate, a touch of caramel and a fizzy tang to the finish. I've served it too cold but I can tell it's getting better as it breathes in the glass. What a stupendously good stout.
