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 Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, thanks to Colin. It pours cloudy deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, toast ash, earth, spice, charcoal, caramel and toffee. The taste is roasted malt, toast, earth, charcoal, spice, wood and cocoa with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Easy drinking and smooth, yet nothing special. Ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Cumbrian beeriodical, Seven Stars, Bristol June 2013. Jet black with a decent, off-white head. Plain chocolate, porridge oats and toasted malts, leading to a dry finish. Very good.

Aroma: Bitter coffee, cream and hints of dark chocolate.
Appearance: Ruby body with a thick tan head. No visible carbonation. Great lacing.
Taste: Rich, dark and bitter - a truly delicious Stout. Dark chocolate and espresso flavours. Dry, lingering bitterness.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Light carbonation.
Overall: A nicer, more robust version of Hawkshead’s Brodie’s Prime (despite its lower ABV). One of the brewery’s best beers.

Heavy thick aroma without being distinct but also milder in taste than this. Black with a small head.

Tap East, Stratford 3 Nov 12. Svart. Et meget svakt rødskjær kan skimtes. Lavt luftig skum. God sjokoladearoma. Smaken er sjokolade - men vassen. Litt tørr ettersmak.

Hand-pulled cask, guest ale at the Tap East pub & microbrewery. Deep black with a ruby shade. Naked surface. Dark malty nose, slightly roasted. Dark chocolate malts in flavour. Dry roasted bitterness to the ending. Thin bodied, but quite tasty (shared with Finn, London, 03.11.2012).
