I would like to contest the category of this beer. Dry Stout? Not hardly! This is clearly an English Mild. With that in mind, it is a flavorful session ale. I’m not sure who classified this as a stout.
Roasty nose and grainy thin espresso mouthfeel and taste. Need a session ale on cask and not in the mood for the House Ale? This is the one. Dry Stout???

Jun 22, 2008 [Tap] Poured a really nice ruby brown with a moderate tannish head. Fairly subdued caramel and toffee malt aroma. Very mild taste, with a little bit of bitterness and nice maltiness. Somewhat thin mouthfeel.

Sep 27, 2007 Sort of like the blackwatch stout except its missing all of the aroma and flavor. Easy drinker.

May 11, 2007 On cask. Black color with a thin head. They got the name right. The aroma and taste are just a little grainy with, really, nothing else there. Honestly, it tasted like a homebrew shop’s grain room: unfermented beer, but it’s somehow dry. Plain, simple, okay.

Jan 27, 2007 Pours a nice deep and clear brown with less than half an inch of creamy tan foam. Pretty good head retention and lacing. Mild grain and chocolate in the aroma.
For the style, this one has a generous amount of malt flavor - mainly bittersweet chocolate and toasted malt. Mellow, easy-going, thirst-quenching, and fairly delicious. Light body, soft and smooth gentle carbonation, drier in the finish.
