Introduction

When We Get By is a Belgian-leaning stout built on rich malt complexity with subtle roast and cacao character. Brewed with thoughtful grain selection and enhanced by a yeast strain that brings soft phenolics, it’s stout flavour without heaviness.

Flavour Profile

This stout delivers dark malt notes upfront: cacao husk, roasted barley and gentle coffee-like nuances. The base malt and specialty grains bring smooth caramel and toast, balanced by a dry finish and a soft, whisky-like warmth.

How It Was Made

We built this stout from a diverse grain bill including dark crystal malts, oats for body and cacao husks for chocolate character. Fermentis W-68 yeast contributes gentle, nuanced phenolics that harmonise with the roasted profile without overpowering.

Process highlights

• Robust malt bill with specialty roasted grains
• Cacao husks added for depth and subtle chocolate notes
• Fermentis W-68 yeast to enhance complexity without harshness
• Careful conditioning to balance roast and drinkability

Why it matters: The combination of chosen malts and carefully selected yeast delivers stout richness with surprising balance — deep flavour that stays approachable.
