Common descriptors are
Brewed in the manner of a true dry stout, the mash is made of pale malt, flaked barley, and roasted barley. It has a relatively low starting gravity, but its high percentage of unfermentable barley, leaves a full, rich body dominated by the complex tones of the roasted grains, with a very dry finish. Its dense, creamy tan head is due to its being "carbonated" with a mix of nitrogen and CO2, and then dispensed through a "Guinness-type" tap under pressure from the same mixed gas. Unfiltered, and black as a moonless night in the glass, is a beautiful deep garnet color when held up to a light. It has less than 4% alcohol per volume, but is still big and powerful, making it agreat beer to have when you?re havin? more than one! The creation and dispensing of this beer was a real pleasure and challenge to us, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. OG: 10415 FG: 101375
