Cloudwater
11% Double Coffee Stout
For our 8th edition we've incorporated 40kg of Yunnan Red Sparrow beans which underwent a thermal shock process which sees coffee cherries undergo high heat then immediate cold cooling. The dramatic temperature shifts create a 'stress response' in the bean, resulting in intense, complex and fruit forward notes. This is then seamlessly blended with a heavy foundation of chocolate and Munich malt, intensifying the decadent experience of PIU while maintaining a remarkably clean, thick, and smooth mouthfeel. Cacao nibs and vanilla are added to temper any sharpness from the coffee, culminating in a drinking experience defined by luxury and profound richness. Collaboration with coffee masters, LOT61 from Amsterdam. Vegan friendly.
