Last Light

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Stout
Tap to rate

Last Light is a low-alcohol stout made in the manner of an Irish dry stout, first released in January 2026. It pours deep black under a dense, creamy tan head. Coffee and roasted barley lead the aroma and give way to dark chocolate. Nitrogen in the can provides a velvety, soft body, and the brewery advises a hard pour so that the effect shows. Tasters describe the finish as dry and clean, with mild bitterness and lingering roast.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive roasted barley and coffee, delivering the familiar dry, slightly charred character of a classic dry stout. Dark chocolate emerges beneath, adding sweetness and depth without overriding the roasted grain foundation. The aroma remains clean and focused, with no fermentation esters or off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, supported by the nitrogen's soft carbonation. The palate develops roasted grain, coffee, and cocoa through the mid-section, balanced by moderate bittering that sits at 40 IBU—enough to drive dryness without harshness. Body is full and velvety despite the low alcohol, with dark roast and a subtle hint of dark fruit adding complexity.

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.
