Nitro Tap, Old Towne, Ballard. No need to compare this to Guiness. Get over it! Guiness is a macro beer. And a light beer at that. It’s not some sort of hand crafted jewel. Thats where this stout comes in. It is a hand crafted jewel. This stout stands on its own merits. If this were available on a regular basis at the pubs I frequent I would order it at least 50% of the time. Quit the "Guiness Light" statements and get down to brass tacks. This is a great stout.

Aug 3, 2008 Pours a very creamy dark black, with a bit of a sour milk chocolate nose. Light bodied and really creamy, could use a little more oomph for my personal tastes, but the flavors that are here are nicely done. Chocolate and roasted coffee, and a very dry, bitter finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Nitro tap. Dark brown pour with a thin creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts and a touch of tartness and bitter chocolate. Interesting. Dry and roasty with a nice sour/tart quality that leaves the mouth insanely dry. This is very nice. Light and incredibly smooth. The beer that I had sounds a little different then the ones that others had, as it was not run of the mill at all.

8/31/2007: Boundary Bay Dry Irish Stout is deep mahogany brown in color and has no head. The aroma is dark chocolate and the flavor has roasted barley and malt, chocolate, and a dry, char-like finish. This stout has a medium to medium-full body and isn’t quite smooth. All in all this is a decently robust dry stout.
Draught sample (O.G. 1.049) at The Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro in Bellingham, Washington. Rating #16 for this beer...

Apr 4, 2007 On nitro tap at Taphouse in Bellevue. In many ways, this beer is "Guinness Light": lighter body, less roasty, less bitter. Pours an opaque black with a moussy tan head. Light aroma with a touch of vanilla and coffee. Lightish body that goes a bit watery. The taste is a bit vacant. but some chocolate, roasted nuts and coffee make an appearance. Dry finish with smoke, espresso and pine; and maybe a touch of grapefruit.
