White Stout is the ultimate beer in our "White Range". While the word "stout" has come to mean a dark beer, the original meaning was strong and true. Before the porter brewers commandeered the word to mean a stout, or strong, porter it referred to any strong beer.

We have rehabilitated and improved the genre. White Stout is a very pale, full bodied, strong beer. American columbus hops are used throughout to give massive floral and resinous character.

At a strength of 7.2% this is a true stout. Indeed, few modern stouts of any colour are true to the word for strong.

Bottle – Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a large lasting foamy near white head. The aroma is fruit, malt and spicy hops. Alcohol dominates a bready malt and bitter, grassy taste, moderately dry and more spicy hop bitterness in the finish. Not great.

Bottle from Great Grog. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of pear, apricot and grass. Flavour of sweet grain, earthy hops and orange peel. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Not one I’d seek out again in a hurry.

Bottle at home split with Sarah from Beer Hawk. Slight hazed golden orange coloured pour with a lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is slightly alcohol solvent, jammy fruit, grainy, grape, grain husks. Flavour is composed of strawberry jam, grape, grain husks, fruity esters, passion fruit. Not sure if this is a stout really. Palate is semi-sweet, moderate carbonation, medium bodied. Bit of a weird one. quite sweet.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours a clear gold with a fine white head of foam. The nose is cocoa & coffee with a mild stout flavor. Alright.

Bottle. Golden amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of honey, dough, pine, vague citrus, spices. Creamy getting towards syrupy, lovely lowish carbonation. Sweet honeyed dough, strong pine and herbal notes, some lemon. Bitter and pithy at the end with an overtly boozy note that’s a little excessive.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral and fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of gooseberry, pear, strawberry, a spicy touch of celery. Taste is minimally sweet pale malty, fruity hoppy overtones, mild bitterness, a floral touch; strong, full body. OK.
