Commercial Description:
Classic dry Irish. This stout is made from highly roasted malts used for color. Oats are also added for an extra creamy mouth feel. With coffee and chocolate aromas, this ale is very flavorful, but don't be fooled by the color, dry Irish stouts are always light in body.

Not great, but not bad. Fairly well balanced and plain. Sticks true to the flavor of an oatmeal stout. I wouldn’t turn this one down

12 oz. bottle. Pours a black color with a very small, quickly disappearing, tan head. Aroma is mainly malts, a bit grainy, roasted, a touch of molasses, chocolate, and coffee. A slight hop nose. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee, and a bitter chocolate finish. Mouthfeel was too watery. Overall a decent beer, nice Irish-style dry, kind of bland, just too light-bodied for a stout.

Blah. A very boring dry stout. Aroma was weak. Slight dark malt with not much else and you have to struggle to get. Pour was a boring and disappointing near black with no head or bubbles. Taste was mildly bitter with deep roastd malt but very thin and unexciting. The carbonation was a nice suprise and puts this beer above it’s nitrogenated cousins.

12 oz. Opaque black with a small head that settles to a a lasting film. Aroma is coffee and ashes. Flavor is coffee with sour cream, chalk and mesquite char. Maybe a hint of cherry. Light-medium body is watery, tingly with carbonation and finishes chalky dry.

Coffee and sour malt on the nose. Dark black pour with tan head and lace. Black coffee and toasted malt and a decent bitter finish. A bit watery and thin. Pretty basic driner like a basic brew pub beer just a bit bland.

little to no head and minor lacing on this dark brown beer. Faint roast and black bread. Thin and not acidic but it finishes like a coke.
