Aligned with International Coffee Day today Roe & Co. have released Roe & Co Coffee Stout Cask Finish from the Cask & Keg series as a new small batch release. The culmination of an experimental flavour collaboration between Roe & Co Irish whiskey and its Dublin 8 Neighbours, The Guinness Open Gate Brewery.
Tasting notes from Roe & Co.
NOSE
Creamy vanilla, hints of chocolate coated honeycomb, sweet caramel, cacao, fruity confectionery candied ginger and tropical fruit background of distant dried mango and hessian sacks.
TASTE
Smooth slow drip coffee and sweet hard toffee, slight hint of molasses with some fruit there behind the freshly ground coffee notes –pineapple, pear, cream soda, and subtle gentle herbal/soft wood spice – thyme, allspice, mace.
FINISH
Creamy vanilla and hazelnut mouth coating with a gentle lingering of subtle roasted malt/coffee grounds acidity taste.
Unsurprisingly the team at Roe & Co. recommend an Irish Whiskey espresso martini serve to harmonize with all the whiskey flavours. Make it at home with: 45ml Cask & Keg, 10ml Coffee Liqueur, 35ml Espresso, 5ml Demerara Sugar Syrup - hard shake and double strain into a coupette.
