Manchester's rain is infamous, but it's made us who we are. Not only did it help create our textile industry, but it's inspired some of our greatest names, from Lowry to Morrissey to Michael (our Head Brewer). JW Lees Stout is a dark and brooding ale that takes its inspiration - and its main ingredient - from those same northern skies. Made with pride using the finest northern water.

Cask gravity at New Inn Canterbury. Dark clear cola colour. Lasting tan head. Some milky slightly sweet stout. Decent condition. Some cocoa flavour. Some molasses or liquorice flavour some milk. I prefer a drier stout. Some chocolate. Some dryness towards the end.

Half-pint, 4.1 % abv, draught at Piccadilly Tap. Shared with Finn. Dotted spots on the glass from a stable beige head, deep dark brownish body. Plain roasted malty aromas, smooth. Dark malt-driven flavours of soot, dark chocolate, and bread. Smooth, roasted grainy nose. Just alright, a bit thin on the palate. (Manchester, 21.03.2024).
