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 CBC, London. Pours clear brown with a soft, foamy head. Nose of milk cocoa, some lacto sugars. Light to medium sweet flavor with velvety smooth lactic chocolate and mild, ashy roasted malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with soft roast, smooth chocolate, faint dirt. A very nice stout.
