Deeper Water

Tap to rate

Deeper Water is a rich, toasty stout served on nitro, at 4.5%. Turkish delight and freshly ground Kenyan coffee rise from the glass, the palate is smooth and creamy, and morello cherry and roasted barley come through in the middle before a clean finish. The name has been with the brewery since 2017, when it belonged to a seasonal milk stout with lactose, vanilla and cacao nibs; today's version is a different recipe and vegan.

◐ Taste

Smooth and creamy entry with morello cherry and roasted barley emerging in the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the toasted Malz character to dominate. The vegan formulation carries no lactose sweetness, letting dry roast flavours finish cleanly.

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.

Can be cellared 2–5 years. Develops dark fruit, leather and port-like complexity with age.
