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.

Aroma: pretty fruity, nice roast, lots of chocolate, some coffee, dusty, caramel, some vanilla. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast, some chocolate, pretty bitter, fruity hops, dry, citrus, some caramel, molasses. Aftertaste: slightly sweet, lots of dark chocolate, coffee grit, hoppy, some grapefruit, cocoa powder, bitter hops, almost like a black ipa. Very nice!

Bottle found at their Bermondsey pad. Poured cold, it struggles to get much foam on top of a very jet black body. The aroma is big on crisp dark chocolate, strong sharp hops, sweet cabbage, apricot eau de vie. Flavour is big and chocolatey barley, muddy oatmeal, cold brewed coffee with a shot of molasses. Medium finish, somewhat sweet. This is a very fine beer, highly drinkable despite its darkness and super smoooth. Yes, three o's.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Very dark brown to black, small beige head. Distinct hoppy aroma, grassy, herbal, fruity background, dark malts give out roasty and burnt notes, rubber. Sweet malty notes turning to a dry roasty finish. Hoppy notes dominate beautifully and last throughout. Fruity touch with roasty balance in the finish. Great balance. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation.
