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.

Keg at Simon the Tanner, London. Deep bitter malty stout. Lovely lasting espresso foam. It feels all rather mature but it actually has quite a thin ending that I suppose betrays that lower Abv. A tough one. Part brilliance, part average thin. mmmm. Striking a balance.
