Our Original Stout is a classic full-bodied stout with a distinctive chocolate aroma.
It is brewed using a combination of Chocolate and Premium Ale malts, and bittered with a blend of hops to create a complex, flavoursome refreshing stout.
An ideal match with shellfish and creamy or chocolate puddings.

Bottle from Tesco drunk at home. Dark brown almost black beer with a thin lasting beige head. Roasty chocolate and some liquorice on the aroma. Actually I rather like this. The best Brains beer I think I’ve had. A little thin in the mouth, but highly drinkable. Yes, very drinkable and not much hop or dryness on the finish. Good stout. My kind of stout.

Sample at SBWF 2013. Black with a tan head. Soft aroma of light roasted malt and light coffee. The taste was also light with notes of coffee, dark bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Rather creamy mouthfeel with some bitterness in the finish.

Bottle from Tesco’s. Poured a deep chocolate brown with a thin tan head. The aroma is of roasted malt. The flavour is medium bitter with malt, liqourice, some chocolate and surprisingly a little alcohol too.

Roasted malt aroma with a touch of chocolate. Most of the flavour comes through in the aftertaste with roasted bitter malts and slight smokiness too.

Dpbry stout. Czarny jak smoła i prawie bez prześwitów. Tylko 4% alc a piwo mocno rozgrzewa. Gożki i wytrawny posmak czekolady i piernika świątecznego. Piana niestety mała i pęcherzykowa

Absolutely no head on this. Looks flat, tastes burnt. Normal stout aroma, but tastes like wood smoke, peat. Mouthfeel is watery. I was expecting more...
