LIVE Dead Metaphor

What the brewery say

A LIVE rebrew of an old recipe. Scottish Chocolate Breakfast Stout, brewed with Brazilian Sertão coffee, Venezuelan cacao and (for the Scottish element) oatmeal. Created and brewed by beer writers Rob Derbyshire (from Hopzine) and Richard Taylor (from the BeerCast), Dead Metaphor refers to a lot of the nomenclature and buzz words/phrases that are bandied about in modern beer writing – and has been designed to get the synapses firing when writing deadlines approach. This beer should be sipped for instant inspiration.

Geeky details

Our opinion

Very dark in appearance, with a thin head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate, which are matched in the taste, with a roasty finish. A good stout.

Where we drank it

The seventh and final beer of the first day of my weekend in London completing the Brewdog Big Smoke Beer Visa challenge, I drank Brewdog’s LIVE Dead Metaphor at Brewdog Clapham.
