COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dogwood Stout is a dry, Irish stout. We use a combination of roasted barley, flaked barley and chocolate malt to create a complex, textured maltiness with hints of coffee and chocolate with a rich fullness of body. We leave it unfiltered to add to its complexity. Its deep, dark mysterious color is topped off by a robust creamy head. It too is naturally carbonated. Dogwood Stout won a Silver Medal Winner at the 1997 World Beer Championships and was named one of top two microbrews in Atlanta by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Dogwood Stout is available in bottles and on tap anytime of the year.

Hangover (926) - Atlanta, USA - JAN 17, 2004

Jet black pour with a small reddish head which doesn't last long. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee and some sweet chocolate notes as well. Flavor is pretty rich... with an upfront taste of coffee and malts with a hint of sweetness coming through towards the end. Finish is dry and only slightly bitter. This is kinda like a 'sweet stout light'... and I like it. Not a bad offering from this atlanta brewery. Definitely recommended.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - DEC 27, 2003

Dark black color with tan head and nice lacing. The aroma is lightly malty with notes of chocolate. The flavor is a blast of zesty hops and chocolate malt, the black patent is very apparent in the mouthfeel. A surprisingly easy drinking stout that deserves all the credit it has earned.

kumite56 (465) - Cordova, Tennessee, USA - DEC 21, 2003

I am not much of a stout fan but I thought this beer was nice. The black body was nicly topped with a small but lasting brown head, some lacing. The aroma was nicely done with roasty malts predominating and a nice chocolate hint as well. Taste was well balanced as the initial sweetness of the malt was nicely offset with a tyical stout dry finish. A good beer. Check it out while in Georgia.

SirTom (85) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - DEC 8, 2003

The aroma and flavour would have higher scores, but sometimes this beer is on and sometimes it's not. When it's on, it's VERY coffee-like and roasted, with some chocolate tones.

biermonk (259) - San Francisco, California, USA - DEC 4, 2003

On tap at Summits Wayside Tavern. Poured a dark brown\black...with athick rocky head... Left excellent lacing. Malty nose some chocolate. This had an excellent flavor. These guys are bringing validity to the game of Georgia Brewing.

slang (602) - Columbia, South Carolina, USA - NOV 20, 2003

Brown, medium head (last almost half of beer). Nearly obaque. Strong coffee palate. Very drinkable. I'll buy again.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - NOV 13, 2003

Pours a dark opaque black with a thin light brown head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt and a hint of coffee. Dry bittersweet body with a nicely balanced semi-sweet chocolately finish. A nice drinkable stout with good flavor profile.

harlequinn (2745) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - OCT 12, 2003

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2004 I really thought this stuff was awesome, and I am not a big fan of stouts. This one had alot of flavor to it. A very traditional stout, with your traditional flavors, but it is very sweet and very dry. A must try. Re-rate: This stout is probably the best dry stout, hands down. Although sometimes inconsistent, for the most part it is very well balanced, extremely dry, with lots of roasted malts and chocolate, with a bit of a coffee finish. Very rich and very creamy.
