Aug 24, 2005 Going out on a limb as I’m uncertain of the name, but whilst at the brewery tap room was offered a stout they had just made to get in a festival that was originally only going to serve Guinness. This is dryer than their imperial along with some other obvious qualitative differences - tad thinner, but not by a huge amount as it has a nice, tongue coating quality. Roasty, deep, and with a very pleasant finish. Quite enjoyable and doubly proud of them to make it into local event by doing such a good job.
