Today sees the start of a very beery weekend at the
Beer Blogger's Conference in Edinburgh and after a pre-conference pub crawl last night I need a pick me up - time for a coffee beer! I'm a big fan of coffee in beer as I'm sure you're all aware by now, given
my past posts!Post title a nod to
Tyson who has somehow managed to write
1000 posts on his blog, good work sir!
Tap East's attempt up first. Rich fruity coffee with dry smokiness underneath. Quite fruity to start,
with a long coffee finish. Light in body and carbonation, deep chestnut. Pretty enjoyable. I've been fairly impressed by
Tap East, time for a visit I'm thinking.
Thornbridge's collaboration with Mountain Goat punningly called Thorny Goat starts off well with rich almost meaty coffee and cocoa on the nose a
pillowy tan head. In the mouth the carbonation is light and body fairly
heavy with lots of residual sweetness, a touch of cardboard and ashen
coffee in finish. Drinkable for the strength but not the best mocha beer
I’ve had and at the bottom end of what
Thornbridge can do Simon
seems to have enjoyed it.
