Old Wavertonian
A robust dark stout with chocolate and coffee flavours, roast barley, a very full body and a smooth, lingering finish. It is where the story began: first brewed in 2005, it won Beer of the Festival at Northwich that same year, the first show the brewery entered. The brewery calls it an homage to the stouts of old.
