Beaufort

Atom Beers
United Kingdom·Irish Dry Stout
Tap to rate

Deep roasted flavours sit over layers of malt richness, with a touch of caramel in the finish and a subtle bitterness. Smooth, dark and easy to drink, this 4.5% Irish stout is brewed in Hull from malted barley and wheat, unfiltered, unfined and vegan-friendly. On Atom's can code, malt-led stouts get a sparse ring of dots, where a hop-forward IPA gets a tightly packed one.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown with a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The body is opaque and viscous, with minimal light transmission. Carbonation is moderate and steady, building a creamy collar that holds throughout the session.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley and dark chocolate lead, accompanied by subtle notes of bitter coffee and burnt grain. Beneath lies a gentle sweetness from caramel malt, with faint fruity undertones from the wheat component. No aggressive hop presence—the nose is warm and inviting rather than sharp.

◐ Taste

Smooth roasted malt dominates the palate, delivering layers of cocoa, espresso, and toasted bread without harshness. A touch of caramel sweetness sits mid-palate, balanced by restrained bitterness from the 40 IBU charge. The wheat contributes body and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel that belies the beer's dry classification.

Serve at 10–14°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
