Type: Pale Stout Origin: Two hundred years ago before the porter brewers commandeered “stout” to mean stout or strong porter a stout beer was a strong beer. It did not have to be black. We have re-created the style using modern hops and a full malt body. Tasting Notes: Maris Otter malt and Columbus hops combine to make a very drinkable strong ale. A fresh full beginning gives way to a spicy bittersweet finish. A pale body supports perfumy spicy hop flavours and aromas. Intense bitterness is balanced by forest fruits and mango. Recommendations: Drink on its own so that its rich complexity is fully appreciated. The large 500ml bottle is ample to share. For a full development of character keep for at least six months.
