Sometimes known as Big Fish Small Pond. Our take on a Dry Irish Stout. 4.2%, light roastiness, thick mouthfeel, big body. Served on Nitro.

Nitro draught at Duke's, Halifax. Dark brown, opaque with a thick and fairly tight khaki head. Nice coffee aroma, traces of liquorice, some vanilla. Sweetvtaste, more vanilla and touches of lighter dark chocolate blends. The heavy bitterness comes in fairly quickly after this and rests gently on the back of the tongue. Weighty body for the ABV. Carbonation kept to a minimum to give a lovely nitro mouthful. Really good.

Nitro at The Rake in Borough Market, London. Barely translucent brown pour. Creamy tan head is thick and enduring. Soft, roasted malt aroma has notes of cocoa powder. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Hints of chocolate, coffee and smoke. Guinness-like, but more bitter.
