For our first collab with Runaway, we’ve flipped things on their head and made a pale beer that tastes like a stout. Cold-infused with Espresso coffee beans from our local coffee roasters, Neighbourhood Coffee, don’t be deceived by its appearance as this beer is roasty with notes of chocolate and espresso.

11/4/2026. Cask at the Isle of Man CAMRA 13th Beer & Cider Festival. Good pour. Has never really been a style I’ve bonded with but this was quite nice. Lots of coffee, quite fruity, some raisin bread, caramel, white chocolate and a little golden syrup. Did have some starchy potato notes which were a bit off putting though. Sweet taste suited it, with some nice mellow bitterness. Decent body. Starchy notes aside, enjoyed it

Cask at Pigs Ear. Near clear gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, modest fine carbonation. Light and fairly dry pale malts, a modest sweetness. Fairly obvious vanilla. Alright semi ripe citrus on the back end. Light and semi dry finish. Clunky attempt to do a white stout, don't hate this but, such a clunky attempt at a style.

Gravity Cask at day 2 of the 41st Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 03/12/2025.
Clear golden with an off white cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is coffee, herb, vanilla, airy malts.
Taste comprises soft malts, milky bar shavings, faint coffee, herb.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close.
So so ... never really into anything from this style tbh.

Falsetto sounds like a Shakespeare character, but it isn't one. It is a distinctively white stout in character brew though, with dry chocolate in this respect prevalent in both aroma and taste, and lingers in aftertaste. Good-looking brew too.
