Smoothly crisp-watered dry Irish stout tosses smoky mocha malts and barley-roasted earthen peat at acrid hop char. Cocoa-powdered Baker’s chocolate, toffee, cacao nibs, day-old coffee, Irish coffee, black tea and burgundy nuances struggle to properly surface. Stylistically murky.

Profoundly embittered dry Irish stout loads hop-charred roasted coffee and sappy Blackstrap molasses atop smoked barley malts. Black rye-breaded spine picks up Baker’s chocolate bittering, acrid charcoal tarring and creamy vanilla bean affectations. Dark nuttiness abounds beneath heavy mocha concentration.

Less brazen than brewers’ full-bodied porter, yet still rich, creamy and lactose-heavy for stylistic dry Irish Stout. Copious dark chocolate chalking and ample coffee bean bittering ascend above moderate charred hop toasting. Sticky anise upsurge intensifies sweet hazelnut and astringent walnut illusions. On tap, obsidian-hued dry body retains all its character, though roasted coffee influence is less persistent.

Middling dry Irish stout lets slick plastic impression and everlastingly harsh charcoal tarred bittering disrupt decent blackened mocha theme. Resounding coffee-burnt dark chocolate frontage accrues resinous hop char and dirty earthen spell. Ashen plum, prune and raisin subsidy lost amidst acrid phenol doldrums. On second passing, peat-soiled marble rye, pungent black tea, bourbon and molasses undertones nip at the bitter black chocolate finish.

Smooth medium-bodied mahogany-hued Irish-style dry stout proves quite versatile. Full-blown mocha frontage surges past burgundy-bourbon boozing bracing sticky anise-seeded dalliance and black coffee coda. Black cherry souring, ester-y grape tartness, brassy walnut singe, and latent charcoal burn embitter hop-oiled oats-smoked cocoa malting to earthen peat bottom.

Fizzy dry-bodied schwarzbier-like black ale misses mark. Coarse metallic shrill depletes mocha nuttiness of supposed Irish-styled stout. Oily hop-toasted grain-roasted charcoal burn overwhelms bittersweet cocoa-seeded black chocolate harshness, gnarly fig-soured chicory coffee meander and salty soy spell.

Mild Irish-styled dry stout brings soft water sedation to dark coffee roast and blanched mocha bitterness. Sharp hops, resinous peat malts, and ashy cigarette stain  permeate deep molasses finish, thickening resolve.

Intoxicating deep brown-hued lightweight stout retains dry-bodied sour coffee bean essence and bitter nut influence to creamy raisin-like finish. Cola nut and cherry undertones tucked beneath relaxing groove add further dimension.

Nitro-injected canned draught pours like a milkshake, calmly settling to less creamy Guinness Stout subtlety. Billowy tan head and viscous sheets of cascading brown bubbles offer splendid visual aspect as ensuing espresso bitterness pervades frontage, but brisk water silkiness and polite roasted mocha-nut finish may put off heartier thirsts.

Strong mocha-malt aroma and black hue not indicative of soft-toned hand crafted winner. Up-front chocolate flow and sticky caramel malt sweetness imbibe subtle yeast-candied finish lacking bold bitter bite of most stouts. In a word, smooove. Brewery defunct: 2005.
