I have an upcoming stout that calls for a British Ale or ESB yeast.
Is there a dried option available?

I used Danstar yeast for my last stout. They have a Nottingham and Windsor.

totally agree.
if you can't get liquid, 04 will work fine, but the options with liquid are much better, especially with english strains.
S04 or Windsor are great options as Dry British Ale yeasts.

I'm a huge fan of Nottingham for my house ales, but I just used a way-over-age* packet of S-04 on a Dry Stout I brewed, and it blew fermenting wort through the bubbler and all over the side of the carboy. I think it was ALIVE!

Depends, i used Windsor only once or twice -one on a English Honey Biscuit partial mash and it attenuated down to 1.007,near one of my lowest, i noted a slight tartness and some mild esters more in aroma, i always think the esters are pretty mild with dried yeast, like 04, i would use it anytime i wouldnt have 05 as a replacement (either or) unless it was a particular beer like yours that you wanted more specific-usually doing mid 60's ferment on average.
I have used Windsor in my stouts with good results. Interestingly, it is a quick fermenter, working very quickly, the krausen rose and fell within 24 hours.
It's a good dry yeast option for stouts, in my experience.
