A few weeks ago I made a NZ bitter ( based on the bitter made for when traveling out from the mother country ) . Cold roasted some coffee, made some toffee and added it all at the fermenting stage along with a malt additive with caramel notes .
Kegged most of it and bottled some a bit over 1.5 weeks ago.
Couldn't help myself, checked a bottle , it's gassed , fridged it, and cracked it.
Interesting to see how it matures.
If I do say so myself , not bad , very roasty coffee aromas and initial flavor , a little sweetness in the middle ( need to maybe add some toffee in the rack ) and the bitterness of the bitter beer at the end.
Not one you'd drink heaps of in a session but am very pleased with how it's turned out.
