It's
aroma is pregnant with coffee notes, and has a brush with vanilla as
well. Flavour-wise, there's a lot going on. Initially malty, there are
notes mocha and a soft vanilla sweetness. At the back end, the cayenne
makes its presence felt, with a coy but significant spicy belt that
hangs around backstage after the show. Of the cinnamon, I found no sign.
Red
Rocket Coffee Spiced Stout is an unusual creation, and not entirely
what I was expecting. I though sweet would rule the roost, but instead
cayenne heat ended up carrying the day in a satisfying enough way. It's
too piquant for a session, but it certainly warms the ol' bones on a
chilly eve.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
