Broughton Ales Scottish Oatmeal Stout
65A somewhat thin ruby beer, not as smooth as it could be.
Hampshire Laughing Leprechaun
75Clean and tasty but a little thin for its strength.
Harvey's Bicentenary Stout
80A bold, demanding beer for the Battle of Trafalgar commemorations. An acquired taste.
Harvey's Imperial Extra Double Stout
88Splendid re-creation of the imperial Russian stout style in a corked bottle. Not for the fainthearted or the novice.
Mauldons Black Adder
83A garnet-coloured brew that is far too quaffable for its strength. More of a strong mild than a true stout.
O'Hanlon's Port Stout
78A fine, dry and bitter, ruby-brown stout with a fruitiness that is not quite what you’d expect from a beer laced with port.
Ventnor Brewery Oyster Stout
70An unusual twist on the stout theme, but lacks a little carbonation.
Wells & Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
73A touch light in the body for its strength and not as thick and luxurious as the packaging promises. Quite a bitter stout on the whole.
Wickwar Mr Perrett's
78A smooth, flavoursome stout. Full bodied and good value.
Wychwood Blackwych
70A nicely balanced beer sadly spoiled by light pervading the clear glass bottle.
Wye Valley Dorothy Goodbody's Wholesome Stout
80An uncompromisingly bitter and roasted stout. A good alternative to Guinness, now that the latter is not conditioned in the bottle.
