TINT

Tap to rate

Balanced flavours of roasted barley with subtle notes of chocolate and coffee, in a creamy, rich, smooth and velvety stout. It is nitrogenated, and the initial pour creates the cascade effect that forms a thick, tight and full creamy head. The brewery calls it a London dry stout, and at 4.3 % it is lower in strength than its sweeter, cake-themed stouts.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for TINT

◎ Appearance

Deep black colour with a ruby-red translucency at the edges when held to light. The nitrogen carbonation creates the characteristic cascade effect on the pour, building a thick, creamy head that persists with excellent retention and forms a fine lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted barley and dark grain character, supported by subtle undertones of chocolate and coffee. These roasted notes are grounded and balanced, without harshness, revealing the dry profile typical of the London dry stout style.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and velvety, driven by the roasted malt backbone with secondary notes of cocoa and espresso developing on the mid-palate. The bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, providing structure without dominating, while the low alcohol strength (4.3%) allows the malt flavours to remain in focus throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, with lingering roasted grain and a gentle coffee note fading cleanly. No sweetness persists, leaving a refreshingly dry aftertaste.

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.
