4.3-4.8% abv. 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.

Dark roasted malty with layers of dark chocolate, coffee roast, dark caramel, nice citrusy hoppy action coming through, singed brown sugar, roasted malty and hoppy finish. Great stuff.

Bottle fromlowcostbeer.com. Black pour with small beige head. Quite an earthy-herbal hop aroma with roast malt and chocolate. Taste has a dry roast with a sweetness to balance, some chocolate, herbal hops, a touch of blackcurrant. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying. Good.

Large light brown tight foamed head on a near black body. Tobacco, ashtray & burnt aroma. Medium bodied, tingly with a smooth back & cloying aft. Burnt, coffee, chocolate & bitter berry tastes with a hoppy tangy finish. Excellent as always from The Kernel.

Bottle. Black body with a thick beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of ash, charcoal and blueberry. Flavour of berries, pine and coffee. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. A very attractive beer. The head lasted the full way.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Arch 7. Pours deep brown with a dense, creamy tan head. Gorgeous from start to finish. Lightly sweet, nicely roasted malts, some mellow ashy bitterness, dark chocolate, a hint of burnt pine, earth, black coffee, orange peel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Balanced finish, more torched pine, well roasted malts. Wildly drinkable.
