Nail Stout won the 2008 Cryer Malt Perth Royal Beer Show best WA beer and 2008 Sydney Royal Beer Competition best stout. Nail Stout is a oatmeal stout with 6% alcohol. Originally when brewed in 2002 it was nitrogenated (poured through a creamer). Its alcohol content was reduced from 6% to 5.2% in 2003 before returning to the original 6%. Nail Stout is now keg conditioned like all nail beers. The dark malts provide a coffee chocolate sweetness on the front of the palette, which is balanced with Golding’s hop bitterness on the back of the mouth. Rolled oats provide a smooth medium body. The flavour changes down the glass.
