Our stout harks back to pre-1200 times when ale went untaxed as it was considered a food essential to the health of the nation! Taken in moderation it will not so much increase your waistline as provide you with rich dark malty flavour and the taste of days gone by. For ‘stout' read ‘brave resolute and vigorous'. A ‘stout-hearted' friend is a friend indeed. No. 1 Premium Stout 4.4% ABV. Warm aromas of the roasted flaked and pale malted barley underpin the smooth richness of this stout balanced by the pairing of Challenger and Target hops for a bitter finish.
