Commercial Description:
This dry irish stout is assertive, with the heavy handed bitterness of copious amounts of black roasted malt and a deep stinging hops bite! We named this stout in honor of St. Patrick, who as legend tells, drove the snakes out of Ireland.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a near black body. Not really a fan of microbrew stouts, they never feel fully balanced. This didn’t fall into that category but close. Ok stout.

Not as good as their oatmeal stout, but decent. Lightly bitter roasted coffee flavor. Not too much complexity. Full bodied and full flavored. Low carbonation. Easily drinkable.

On draft @ Brewpub. Pours a brownish black body with some head. Aroma is roasted coffee and something else... cannot remember. Taste is very coffee-esque, but good. Not a big fans of stouts but I thought this was pretty good.

On draft at the brewpub. Poured dark brownish black with a tan head and good lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, mild roasted coffee. Taste is of bitter baking chocolate, mild roasted coffee. Olivey bitter, slightly dry finish. Not bad.

Growler, courtesy of LordMaynard. Thanks, Russ!! Pours a dark, murky chocolate-brown color; khaki head with large-bubbled retention and lacing. Nougat, chocolate, and some wet malts in the aroma; touch of cocoa; a bit messy. Medium mouthfeel: slightly watery at the edges, with plenty of freeze-dried coffee, caramel, and basic bitter chocolate, again, messy and a touch chalky; not a lot of complexity to either the coffee or the chocolate notes. Medium, dry finish: bitter chocolate, nougat, and mineral bitterness.
