Summerskills Stout
A black, smooth stout that drinks lighter than it looks. Coffee and chocolate notes define the flavour, and the body stays easy rather than heavy. At 4.4% it remains at session strength. It reached the local trade in 2017, is sold cask-conditioned and bottle-conditioned, and also serves as the base beer for the brewery's coffee-infused Urban Brew.
