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.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Chocolately, roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of pumpernickel, a minimally tart-ish touch of rye / ryebread, fruity hoppy overtones with a touch of orange and mango. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, minimally dusty, chocolately, minimally tart-ish bready, grassy hoppy counterpart, a spicy touch of hay; light, almost a bit watery.

Sampled from tap at ’Craftbeer Corner Coeln’. Clear, very dark red to black with an off-white head. Slightly sweetish, rather roasty aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and licorice with a touch of pine. Slightly sweetish, rather roasty-bitter, a bit resiny taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice and hints of pine, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, earthy-dry and a little resiny finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice, although I didn’t get that much of the Mosaic hops.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 20 May 2017) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with citrus, tropical fruit, coffee and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, tropical fruit, grapefruit, pineapple and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Lots of fruity hops, but still retains its dry stout character. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

On tap at Moeder Lambic (Fontanas) in Brussels. Pours black with little white head. Aroma is really nice and interesting, dark and roasty, loads of cocoa, and a really intense mosaic aroma, very herbal and earthy, some pine. Smooth and light body. Flavours are dark malts, bitter chocolate, intense cocoa. Medium hoppy finish.

Bottle at home in garden, 14th May 17. Pours black. Aroma is ash, chocolate, floral. Taste is dark chocolate, bitter hops, ash, slight smoke. Really nice stout with loads of flavour for the extreme low ABV
