650ml bottle - an 'amber coffee ale', made with Sanson No. 7 beans from ACE coffee roasters.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves a few instances of exploding volcano ejecta lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of rich artisanal coffee, bready and doughy caramel malt, a hint of bittersweet chocolate, and a further suggestion of vanilla sweetness. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, cafe-au-lait, a mixed dark orchard fruitiness, a touch of earthy yeast, dark cocoa powder, and some very understated earthy, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its swirling and twirling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a minor java astringency taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the coffee notes still going strong.
Overall - well, it's funny that I can't stand coffee on its own, but I'm totally okay with it being infused into a capably rendered beer. First Pull is rounded and flavourful, so much so that there will many more pulls to come as I happily polish off this bomber - now where are those doughnuts?
