A big problem with coffee beers is that often brewers don't know much about coffee, add the coffee in ways that horribly over extract all sorts of undesirable flavours from the coffee. <BR/><BR/>One thing I have noticed with the one I have brewed is that as the beer has aged there is a fair bit of acidity from the coffee giving the beer a tart edge. <BR/><BR/>The Bottled Meantime Coffee Porter (I believe it was Coffee Porter when I tried it) was one of the best coffee beers I have tried.Kieran Haslett-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562970144894398803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-68603868128199843632008-11-10T17:01:00.000+00:002008-11-10T17:01:00.000+00:00*Or other way round, Coffee Beer to Coffee Porter....*Or other way round, Coffee Beer to Coffee Porter.
