Made in collaboration with award winning Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, the beer gets its back bone by using Maris Otter as the base with a triad of chocolate and crystal malts, which impart a smooth and rich malt character. We infused that with a special Kenyan Makwa coffee using a cold extraction method.

Pours a finger and half of tan head on a black body.
The aroma is fresh coffee grounds, dark chocolate and a little raspberry.
The taste balanced, nice malty sweetness and coffee bitterness.
The texture is crisper.
Quite enjoyable.

Notes taken on 10/19/2014
A: Cold pressed coffee. Brownish black with some light bubble action and virtually no head. Interesting. Only a modest swirl across the surface.
S: The nose greets with a nice coffee house roast blend. Actually, smells like Ryan Brothers to me. There is some chocolate malt detected along with a distinct earthiness. Kind of as to be expected here with some fresh roast at the forefront.
T: Its like a cold pressed dark roast java and not all that great to be honest. Dark chocolate meets with some toasted bread points and dark fruit action midway. Finishes more bitter like bakers chocolate with a slight metallic tinge. Earthy with lots of roast character. Takes on more of a Coffee Porter angle.
M: Medium bodied but a little watered down and kind of flattish. Not much carb going on. Nice bitterness to dry out and lift in the finish
D: This was just okay for me. Nothing special other than some nice coffee notes. I would take Pizza Port's Board Meeting over this any day.
