On tap, beige-headed Irish-styled dry stout embellishes frisky carbolic hop char with rye-malted chocolate roast to compact wheat basin, simmering to surprisingly light-bodied smoked mocha-nut finish. Lively on the tongue yet lacking robust creaminess prominent Guinness Stout offers.

Complex ‘inky black’ stout boasts lingered black coffee bitterness intensifying flaked oat sweetness and unrefined maple sappiness to resinous molasses bottom. Roasted hops secure charred wood-charcoal tone and tar-like murk to harsh cinder finish. Adjacent rich milky creaminess penetrates anise-spiced grapefruit splash and black licorice hint.

Smoked wood and burnt coffee given correlative charred hop bittering for balmy well-balanced dry-bodied Irish dry stout.
