Commercial Description:
: Dry stout in the Irish tradition. Black as coal and very smooth. Served with a creamy head. Irish stouts are not as bitter, boasty and strong as some other stouts. Our stout is brewed to enjoy.

~Pours black with creamy off white head. ~Has a nutty, malty aroma. ~Mild coffee and malt taste, light bitterness. ~Smooth watered down feel, bitter finish. ~Seems to be a Guinness clone. It was just ok for me.

A light stout. Black colored brew with a tan creamy head and some mild roasted sweetness in both aroma and flavor. Smooth and creamy. Kind of bland, but not bad.

Draft. Blackish beer with a light beige nitro head. Light milky sweet malt flavor with background roast and coffee flavors. Low aroma. Lingering sweetness. Lighter bodied.

This dark brown ale poured with a large tan head. There was a pleasant malty flavor with chocolate notes. Overall, a fairly satisfying brew.
