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.

Bottled, thanks SpringsLicker! Very black with brownish head. Coffee aroma. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Malty with some molasses and chocolate. Warming and hearty, a well balaced stout.

big sweet roasted and coffee aroma, lots of sweet creamy roasted malt flavor, lasting light bitter finish, still a great stout after all these years with a bit more sweetness,

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 4, 2003
Opaque. Dense, fudgey aroma - toffeeish malts, figs, nuts - high enjoyable. Touch of iron in the chocolatey body. Moderate sweetness. Good balance.

(RBSG2003): Black body with small tan head. Aroma is big and delicious -- strong coffee, medium sweet, medium chocolate. Taste is milder than the aroma -- coffee, light, sweet. Medium body.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUL 1, 2003
RBSG2003 This beer rocks! Pours as black as Midnight. Don’t spill it on anything. OxyClean couldn’t get that stain out. Small, khaki head doesn’t last or leave momentos. The nose is of smoke, chocolate covered cherries, espresso and blackstrap molasses. The flavor is well-balanced and true to the aroma. Hearty, burnt, bitter flavor. Very full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and feisty carbonation. Short, dry, toasty finish. Excellent, world class brew!

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 23, 2005
Bottle acquired in trade with SpringsLicker (thanks!). Best before date of 12/19/04. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized light brown head. Aromas of light vanilla, chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes of light vanilla, chocolate, light dark fruits and very light coffee.

CaptainCougar (6747) - 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.
