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.

On tap at Holy Craft Beer Bar, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a mahogany tinge and a small beige head. Aroma is rich, with intensely roasted malt, earthy hops, and some toasted notes. Flavour is dry and roasty, with lots of dry, toasted malt, dry earthiness, and actually potent hops. Balanced well, finishing dry. Very good—as good as this style can be.

Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, dark bread, citrus, a touch of mint and a balanced roasty/citric bitterness. Medium body, dry. Tasty and solid stout, with a fresh hop character. Very nice.

Lots of cacao and chocolate, light coffee notes, and a beautiful hop profile, Simcoe really works here. Lots of pine, light berry notes, plum, foresty and herbal hop notes.

Bottle at home picked up from Cotterridge i think. An opaque black brown coloured pour with a lasting light tan head with some loose bubbles. Aroma is dusty roast, black liquorice and singed pine needles, Some ash and ruustic farmyard notes on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of bitter roast, little charcoal, burnt pine, light chalk. Palate is dusty, little thin, moderate carbonation, light oily. Some background citrus. Good stuff.
