The Espresso
We chose Rafael’s Special Onesto Blend, providing complexity and character with chocolate and cocoa overtones. Using artisanal methods the beans were roasted and coarsely-ground at his roastery in the Macedon Ranges.
Extraction
Whilst fresh the roasted grounds were steeped in 80 degrees celsius water for 48 hours before the strong coffee concentrate was extracted through a fine filter. The coffee was then cooled to 0.5 degrees over 2 days to encourage the oils to rise to the top, which was then skimmed leaving behind a pure dark coffee extraction.
The Molasses blend
Good ol’ Queensland’s Bundaberg town provided the correct bitterness and darkness we wanted to add to our cider. The coffee extraction was carefully warmed just enough to easily melt the molasses for our cider blend.

Local Cider. Different but refreshing, reminds me of Moscato.

The apple flavour really comes through with the hints of hops. A bit sweeter than the oaked, but just lovely ice cold.

Crisp apple up front, dry finish with a bit of tannin volume on the middle to back palate.
