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.

Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec tderoeck. Bottle 22/07/2015. Brune foncée, col café au lait. Arôme st malté, grillé, note de café avec un houblonné assez plaisant. Le dominant du grains - inspiré d’une composante torréfiée est balancée par un agréable houblonnage à cru laissant augurer des relents de Black IPA. Le tout est frais avec des pointes de tropical. Palais est fruité assez dominant jouant son rôle au niveau dry hopping. Se boit comme une Black IPA au fini sec, fruité - ananas et léger tropical. Le tout reste poudreux avec une bonne note de torréfié.

Bottle. Bottledog, King’s Cross. Dark, cola brown. Kernel swede, albeit light brown. Smells great. Light coffee grinds and fruity hop in equal measure. Taste is light dry, and gentle bitter. Smooth, creamy palate. Silly easy drinking. Finishes with a little coffee grind bitterness.

Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Thin dark malts bring mild roast and tangy coffee. Mild hop skunk. Tangy dark fruits, very mild. Light finish. Decent.
