Halo Oat Stout
The dark beer of the Halo line: an oat stout at 0.3%. The brewery's notes give dark chocolate and liquorice in the flavour and espresso and roasted malt in the aroma, the same roast-led picture as its porter in a much lighter frame. Oats are part of the recipe and lend some smoothness that the low strength would otherwise lack. Brewed from organic barley malt, oats, hops and yeast.

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.
