Titanic Cappuchino

[Chrissyr63]

hi all,

wife and I had a small glass of this in a Wethies yesterday and really enjoyed it - lovely coffee flavour came through.

Looked for a recipe online but nothing came up - the Wetherpoons site gives the hops used but not any of the grains - anyone any idea where to start?

This from BYO may be a starting point, though I expected it to be a milk stout with coffee.

Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout clone (5 gallon/19 L, all-grain) OG = 1.070 FG = 1.014 IBU = 52 SRM = 35 ABV = 7.2%

I can't comment on the titanic stout but I came up with this grain bill for a coffee stout with help from James Farran from Summer Wine brewery. Their Barrista coffee stout is probably the best one I've ever had!



50g of good quality coffee grounds are added as a flame off steep audition!

Mash at 68 for loads of body and a bit of sweetness, along with a not overly attenuative ale yeast.

Cheers

It's worth noting that you get some perceived bitterness from the coffee so you can cut back the bittering hops a bit so as not to over bitter the beer!

Well I just had a half of the Titanic Cappucino, and it's really excellent. To my not so well trained palate it has a bit of milk stout feel to it, so maybe there is lactose involved. It was luscious.

hi all,

thanks for the replies - will have look at those recipes.
The Titanic is only 4.5 vol and maybe I'm looking for sweet stout with actual coffee additions (thought it might be from grains only).
Clibit - have to agree was a standout drink when tasted 4 (poor old Pedigree was so out shined by the rest).

I tried the Titanic Cappuchino Stout the other weekend and was blown away by the extraordinary flavours. I too would be very interested to get an idea of how they managed to do it.

From their website

The combination of the brewer's and the barista's talents this fabulous beer combines the original dry Titanic Stout with the flavours of warm, enveloping smooth cappuccino. Relax and enjoy, with or without cholocalte sprinkles.

So I'm guessing it's their dry stout with coffee and lactose added!
