COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dominion Irish Stout is a light bodied dry stout with chocolate highlights balancing its roasted malt character. The beer is made with 10% of the mash that has been soured. It is lightly carbonated and served with nitrogen to give the classic cascade of form and beer, the black stout falling (cascading) through the white foam. The finished pint looks like black coffee with a layer of white whipped cream on top. Dominion Irish Stout can be used to make Black and Tan pints. The stout will float on top of beers like Dominion Ale, Bass Ale and Harp. Available only on draft.

Gjohnson9894 (3) - Chantilly, Virginia, USA - SEP 12, 2006 does not count

At the Brewery - a creamy, smooth drink, light enough to drink without feeling stuffed at the end of a pint or two. Not going to change your life, but a yummy brew, none the less!

beervana (781) - Libertyville, Illinois, USA - FEB 5, 2006

(02.03.06) On tap at Old Dominion brewpub, Ashburn, VA. Black hued with creamy off-white head. No discernable carbonation. No aroma. Medium bodied stout that starts with light sweet malt and roasted malt flavor. Finishes dry with light lingering roasted malt bitterness. Thin textured and watery. Monodimensional in flavor with very little complexity. An ordinary drinkable stout.

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - SEP 8, 2005

On draft at the brewpub, 9/1/05: Creamy ... nice irish look ... smoky, sugary, lightly tinged with a bitter chocolate sense. Bit thin.

BuckNaked (1222) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - MAR 17, 2005

Dark brown with a small, thick brown head (nitro). This one smells of mild roasted malt, mild coffee, smoke, chocolate, with an aroma that is mild overall. Upon first taste, I’m quite surprised at how thin and watery it is. Taste is mildly bitter with hints of roasted malt, bitter chocolate, slight hints of smoke, perhaps even a bit of wood. Overall it’s dry and mild.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 23, 2004

Dense black colour, with a moderate, creamy head. Very dry, with roast and smoky malt and hints of chocolate. Quite tasty. Smooth palate, but there’s not much body to it and the overall feel is a bit weedy. I’d rather got used to stouts being a bit bigger than this in the US. On tap at the Dominion brewery.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - DEC 3, 2004

Had this on draft at Dominion on 11/21/04. Black body with a small dense tan head. Is this on nitro? Nose is roasted malt, light coffee and a pleasant underlying sweetness. Taste is roasty, sweet, light coffee, and some bittersweet chocolate. Body is smooth and creamy with a light oily feel. Hint of bitterness. Finishes with more roasted malt coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Nice beer!

egajdzis (4550) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 21, 2004

Poured a chestnut brown color with a tight, creamy, khaki head and left light lacing on the glass. Butterscotch and roasted aroma. Watery and dry, very light chocolate and mild roast as well. Disappointing mouthfeel.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - OCT 10, 2004

(draft) Nitro creamy tan head atop brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee, roasty, hint of smoke. Taste is medium sweet, coffee, some chocolate, roasty. Light-medium body, fairly clean finish, though the roasty coffee lingers.
