Spey Stout is the beer for which a brewery was built! It was named before Spey Valley Brewery even existed, and the aim of the brewery from day one – to produce a world class dark beer, which even light beer fans could enjoy.
Full bodied and smooth with the rich aroma and robust flavours of liquorice and chocolate, Spey Stout has had great reviews from stout fans and its clean, well balanced flavours have been known to convert a number of light beer fans to the dark side!
Malts: Maris otter, Wheat, Crystal, Chocolate.
Hops: Northern Brewer, Lubelski.

Bottle from Tomlinson’s Beer Shop, Inverness. Pours deep mahogany in colour with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel and spice. Medium sweetness, bitterness and body, soft carbonation with some slickness to texture. Enjoyed this.

Flaske delt med håndimportør Ovesen på Holmens aktivitetsdag sep-14: fint offwhite skum som varer. Farge i lyseste laget for en skikkelig stout. Aroma av karamell og mørk malt. Litt sur smak (lakris med ingefær?), vandig. Lang, røstet ettersmak. Den tørre ettersmaken var faktisk det beste ved denne.

Bottle thanks to Colin/Leighton. It pours deep mahogany brown with a thick beige head. The nose is earthy, toast, spice, cocoa and light cardboard. The taste is earthy, toast, brown bread, caramel, charred wood and mild bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Straight-forward and easy drinking.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Many thanks to Colin for bringing me this one. Pours clear brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose has plenty of toasty brown bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with notes of toffee, further brown bread, subtle earthy bitterness. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish with more toasty bread. Easy drinking and pretty simple.
