Hive Mond - Second Breakfast - Coffee, Honey & Oatmeal Stout
5.5% ABV - 375ml Bottle
One breakfast is good, but a second breakfast is better!
A Collab brew with friends Hive Mind and Rave Coffee, this stout blends their signature coffee with mellow oats and a good helping of honey. Full-bodied and velvety, it brims with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a smooth honeyed finish.
"We brewed the beer on malt, oats, and honey together, once it was reaching the end of the fermentation we essentially made 1100L of cold brew, steeping the whole coffee beans for 3 days, and then the ground coffee for a further three days into the fermenter. We were keen for the coffee flavours to shine through so used 6kg of coffee in this batch."
Tasting notes:
aromas of freshly brewed espresso, dark chocolate, and a subtle floralness from the honey. On the palate, rich roasted coffee and cocoa lead the way, rounded by smooth caramel and malt notes, while the honey adds gentle complexity and balance. The addition of oats creates a silky, full-bodied mouthfeel giving it depth without the heaviness.
