On-draught @ BREW Bar Rotorua.
Black body colour. Pale khaki colour head.
Taste hits on the usual coffee stout suspects without flourish. Generic coffee bitterness with a kiss of vanillin. Faint roast buried beneath specialty chocolate malt sweetness. Dark malt sweetness is at its core.
Needs better and more pungent coffee. Needs more roasted barley.
No hop flavour is overt.
Smooth, wet, unrefreshing. More of a dry coarse mouthfeel would lend itself naturally to coaxing out more depth of flavour from the coffee and roasty notes.
A nice enough no-frills coffee stout, but it doesn't set itself apart. Coming from a craft beer pub and coffee roastery owned by the brewery, this coffee stout comes off surprisingly insipid and shallow.
