Triumph Irish Dry Stout

Almost black with a lasting tan head. Roasted an caramel aroma, medium smooth body, and a flavor of roasted malt, burnt wood and coffee. Not bad.

Heavy malt flavor, dark, burnt, and strong. Light, resinous hoppy flavor. Moderately yeasty. other favors include rasin, tar, and coffee. Large head, quite creamy. Light brown, excellent lacing, fully lasting. Murky in body, with large particles, and thick density. Dark brown or black in hue. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter, with a long dark finish. dry, creamy texture. softly carbonated. lightly alcoholic - well hidden. A good coffee style stout, tasty, but not on par with a Rogue or Brooklyn.

Smells roasted malts, some smoke barbecue smell, pours near opaque with a creamy beige head, creamy mouthfeel like a guiness with a bit more smoky taste. not bad.

Draft->juice glass (tasting@brewery): Pours a large, lasting, light brown head that exhibits excellent lacing atop a black body. Malt smells of cookie, but not much aroma beyond this point, like a lot of dry stouts. The flavor’s duration is short, being moderately acidic, and ending like sour milk. The body is light, texture is thin, and the carbonation is flat, all ending astringently. A good Guinness-attempt.

Nitro at New hope - Blackish pour with a medium, lasting head. Aroma is dry, chocolatey, and dominated by coffee. Flavor has a nutty-coffee mix along with some dry roasty malts. Not bad overall.
