A dry oatmeal stout, named after that enduring feature of the Lake District landscape, the dry stone wall and the skilled craftsmen who build them. Aromas of chocolate and coffee, complex rich deep flavours from a blend of 7 malts, moderate bitterness and a long dry finish make Dry Stone Stout a satisfying and warming black beer.

Cask, at the brewery. Nearly black. Thin and dense, creamy, semi lacing, pale tan head. Looks well. Nose has wood ash. Well roasted malt. Unwashed coffee bean. Taste is light sweet, and earthy, roast coffee bean dry. Light to medium body. Fine carbonation. Dry and light bitter finish. Nice cask stout.

0,2l from tap at Man In the Moon shared with Nische. Black color, small coffee colored head. Smells earthy, joghurt, spices, hints of smoke. Nice smell. Light to medium body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes earthy, spices, peppery, buttery, tobacco, ashy. Finishes lightly roasty bitter with notes of butter, ashy and tobacco notes. A bit on the boring side, misses some carbonation, not so great on the flavors too

Tap at Man In The Moon with Werckmeister. Cola brown with beige head. Heavily roasted with coffee and liquorice. Quite a lot of butter popcorn and caramel too, but tastes quite nice nevertheless.

Cask. Hazy brown color with soapy off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, liquorice, earthy. Taste is chocolate, earthy, surprisingly fruity too, some yeastcake. Oily, a bit chalky mouthfeel with low carbonation. Good flavour profile, but it's too chalky.

[Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common.] A glossy black pour with a loose beige head; aroma of deeply roasted chocoalte malts; dry in the mouth with lots of toasted malt and a herbal, English hop bitterness; then some coffee and a touch of brown sugar in the finish. A good stout.

Cask at Dog & Gunn. Pours a near black with a brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma combination dry roasted malts and dark grains well. Flavor has the same combination of dry roasted malts and dark grains but there is also a bit of bitter chocolate underlying.
