Double Stout
Categories: [ Beer/Hook Norton ]
“Black malt enriches the colour and teases the palate with an unmiskable ‘toast’
flavour. Brown malt gives it the dryness. An excellent accompaniment to red meat.”
Smells of a fruit I cannot put a name onto. The taste is bitter, a bit like coffee, with a sweet finish that reminds me of chocolate. I didn't find the ‘toast’ flavour, though. Made of malted barley.
Hook Norton Brewery, Hook Norton, Oxon, England. 4.8% alcohol.

Maybe you mistook the "toast" flavour with what you described as coffee ? Coffee strongly torrefacted can have a taste that reminds of toasted bread. It also depends on the kind of coffee that can be drunk in Finland :-).
