Supplier: Beer52
So another from this Cape Town brewery, but I don't know much about this beer as it isn't on either their year-round or speciality list. All I know is that it is their coffee stout. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Pitch black colour even when held to the light. The head is a very light brown which things to a lace around the edges very quickly.
Aroma: Loads of nutty and sweet coffee notes but with a little bit of washing up liquid in the back.
Flavour: Tastes like a really smooth cold brew coffee with a little milk and sugar. However, this starts to fade quickly becoming a little more bland but still nice.
Body: Reasonably thick and really smooth, but there is just a little too much fizzy.
Aftertaste: The roasted acidity that you get with coffee, slightly metalic.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, more like a cold brew coffee than a beer but really nice, but the flavours start to die down with drinking.
Price Range: Another from the South African beers, so £2.90 for a 340ml bottle; a very good price and I'd get it again whenever I would want a coffee porter.
Food Pairings: Because of the coffee notes I would say a dark meat (like beef or venison) stew or pie.
