Has a bitter bite to it, definitely dry, its just compared to the other ales in the sampler pack, this doesn’t stand up, although it is a good example of a Dry Stout.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a small ring of tan head. Aroma isn’t overly dry or roasty, but balanced with a malty sweetness and light coffee. Riding the fence between styles, really. Much more roastiness in the taste along with some bittersweet notes and a dry, lingering finish of roast and coffee. Body is just about right for the style. Not bad, it doesn’t stand out.

Received in trade from Monkeyknife, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a dark brown/black with ruby highlights when held to light. Has a skimpy off white head that sticks for a bit. Aroma is faint cocoa and dried fruit. I’m missing the roasted grains that are typical in a dry stout. Taste has some chocolates, a bit of roast bitterness and some more dried fruit. Carbonation is ample, mouthfeel is creamy, body could be a little thicker for me. Overall a decent brew, I could see myself sessioning this if it were more available to me. Could use more roast flavor and aroma.

Draft at Waldo pizza. Perfect, classic look for a dry stout. Super faint aroma with only a hint of coffee. Pretty light flavor too. A little coffe but that’s about it other than bitterness. Okay.

bottle thanks to Creedon pours black with a medium brown head. Aroma is smoke and charcoal with hints of dark cherries. Flavor is roasty through and through, dark malts, light smoke, crisp finish with moderate carbonation. Solid stuff.

Good beginners dry stout. Medium boldness. Easy drinking. Excellent aroma.

12 oz. bottle from Friar Tuck. Pours a hazy dark brown, opaque but not thick-looking, with a small tan head that fades into just a ring on the inner edge of the glass. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, coffee, smoked wood, nuts, and chocolate. Flavor of coffee, roasted malts, toasted nuts, smoke, plums, and nickel. Light-medium bodied, without a ton of carbonation but some sharpness, and a dry mouthfeel. Finish is roasty and quick. Good dry stout.

Bottle. Pours nearly black with a medium tan head. Aroma and flavor of rich, roasted malt, bitter and milk chocolate, a bit of spice. Finishes dry and bitter. Creamy and slightly thin palate. A tasty, sessionable dry stout.

Thin body but it was on nitro so that shot it. Nice roasty flavors but this one is a bit thin, Much thinner than other light stouts on nitro like Donnybrook which is in the mid 3%s. Thin and washy but when the flavors are there they are roasty, not purely dark, and a bit nutty. Decent beer.

Not very dry at all. Tastes like a middle-of-the-road stout with a nice, slightly sweet, roasted flavor.
