“One of the finest examples of a traditional English stout.” Roger Protz, Editor Good Beer Guide
Double Stout 4.8%
£24.00 Inc. VAT
12 x 500ml bottles.
First brewed in 1898 this is a smooth and full-bodied stout with a refreshing hoppy aftertaste. A blend of dark malts gives it a character all of its own. Black malt enriches the colour and teases the palate, and brown malt gives it the dryness.

Phippster –
A wonderfully deep, dark stout. Certainly up there with Dorothy Goodbody’s Wholesome, Titanic and Brewdog Jet Black Heart.
Utterances (verified owner) –
Full of depth and flavour. You won’t be disappointed. Extremely moreish.
Sam Jones –
Dark and mysterious on the eye and a hint of coffee on the nose which really comes through on the palate. Definitely not a cloying, overly sweet stout. Nicely robust with just enough bitterness. Absolute classic. Those Victorians certainly knew a thing or two about dark beers.
