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 brewery. Dry bitter malty grains, roasted coffee bitterness and mild hops. Dry and smoky. Oily black with tan lacing head. Heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts rich and roasty. Coffee and chocolate and smoke. Light licorice. Big old dry bitter with some sour coffee tang. Dry hops bitter finish with tongue-coating bitter after. Quite a stout. Rich and flavorful.

On tap at the pub. Knockout beer. Absolutely loved it. Smooth and packing a ton of bitter, dry roasty coffee and everything else a stout ought to have in there. Would have taken a growler home if I didn’t have 2 cases of Troegs to break into.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a medium sized khaki head. The aroma was dry, bitter and roasty with notes of coffee. The flavor was dry, bitter and roasty with notes of coffee. The finish was long and the same. Typical for the style.

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.
