Brewed for Whole Foods. Old Plowshare is a full-flavored Celtic style Stout. Smooth and firm-bodied with the bold flavor notes of dark roasted malts. Because Old Plowshare is organic it remains true to the time-honored Irish tradition of respect for natural ingredients. A great pub classic or the perfect Black and Tan.

Deep red translucent body, thin light tan head. Toasty, roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee and chocolate. Sweeter than most dry stouts with a nice chocolate character balanced by bitter, slightly prickly roasted malts. A competent better-than-average interpretation of this classic but somewhat hackneyed style. Thanks Walt!

No idea who I stole this off of at my Christmas party. Sorry about that. Rather black colour. A stout always scores points if I can’t see through it and it has a nice head. Big roast and peanut oil aroma. Reasonably full body. Toasty, with light hints of nuts and coffee. Quite dry. Straightforward, but tasty, light stout.

Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single at Whole Foods, Charlottesville. Pours clear dark brown with a large brown head. Aromas of bitter toasted malts, caramel, and slight coffee. Lightish flavor, which for some reason, I like in this beer. Cold coffee, caramel, toffee, and not in the slightest bit heavy. Finishes with a coffee bitterness. Nice.

Bottle. Dark mahogony-brown beer with a beige head. Roasty aroma with some coffee tones. Sweet malt flavor with lots of roast and a hint of chocolate. Easy drinking. Medium bodied. Sweetness lingers.
