Malted barley, oats. The equivalent to Table Beer in our range of stouts and porters. Not brewed to 'dry stout'-style, per se, but a stout that is dry. Light-bodied but not thin, with more prominent kettle-hopping and then dry-hopping to add some brightness and contrast to the roasty, biscuity, and savoury character of the dark malts.

Bottle at home in London - sourced direct from the brewery. Pours deep brown-black with a frothy beige head. Quite a nice, dynamic aroma, with earthy roasted malts, ripening dark fruits, definitely some chocolate. Light-medium sweet flavor with lightly sugary chocolate, mild roast, licorice, soft scorched earth, aged forest berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation and oily texture; the beer could be a touch more highly carbonated. Finishes with sweet dark malt character, relaxed roast, more chocolate, some ripe orange, more berries, suggestions of anise and earth. A truly wonderful beer from start to finish. It’s nicely layered, with an impressive amount of character crammed into the relatively paltry ABV level. Very, very good.

Dark brown color with creamy beige head. Aroma is espresso, minty, a bit nutty, citrusy. Taste is chocolate, fruity, a bit roasted and nutty. Dry Schwarzbrot finish. Creamy mouthfeel with the perfect soft carbonation. Does not feel light at all. An excellent, full-bodied and rich Dry Stout!
