A classic stout with deep chocolate and mocha flavours; this rich, velvety and wonderfully drinkable beer is the perfect accompaniment to roast beef, oysters and game. This beer’s long and glorious heritage dates back to the 18th century when a glass of stout and a plate of whitstable oysters became the pairing of choice for millions of thirsty britons.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Colour is very dark brown, almost black, with a thin velvety pale brown head, disappearing too fast. Nose is roasted, with dark chocolate, coffee, mocha. Taste is roasted with the same flavors (chocolate and coffe), hints of sweetness but mainly dry. Discrete bitterness in the smooth finish. Lovely nose, but taste doesn’t really match the nose. Rather light body, almost on the thin side, actually a bit mild-ish. But still a nice and tasty beer.

[Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Very black with small beige head. Dry with light body and soft mouthfeel. Lightly salty and discretely flavourful. There’s roasty malt and tobacco. The hop rate is fairly low, so the lightly salty finish has less than medium bitterness. An excellently balanced session stout. The antipode to US microbrews.
