Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown almost black color with an off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Sly stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet to roasty graininess up front. Then some dark chocolate and a touch of coffee bean.
The flavor took all of the prior mentioned aromas to blend and then add in a touch of earth and peat. Sly woody to peat to roasty aftertaste. Quick dry crisp earthy/peat/roasty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great smooth feel rolling all about over my tongue. Good carbonation. For the ABV, though low, it feels like right the brewer says it’s at.
Overall, nicely done Irish dry stout, somewhat crushable.

Dark. Dry cocoa, roasted, burnt malt. Chalky medium body with a dry finish. Very nice.

On tap at Boundary Bay, pours an amber-tinged deep dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of lightly bitter dry roast, oats and a touch of bitter dry cocoa. Flavour is quite dry and very bitter, with bitter roast and metallic notes dominating. Thin body with a weak flavour profile. Not too inspiring.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color, with beige creamy head. Light aroma of cardboard, paper and roasted malt. Dry mouthfeel, smooth, but maybe because of some diacetyl there is also a light milky feeling, so it lands between Dry Stout and Milk Stout; ordinary bitterness.
Easy.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a black color with a creamy tan head. Roasted malty aroma with some hints of chocolate. Smooth roasted malty chocolate flavor with some weak hints of coffee. Has a smooth roasted malty finish with some hints of chocoalte in the aftertaste.

On tap at the brew pub. Very dark brown but clear. Thin tan head and wispy lacing. Plenty of dark roast/charcoaly note in the aroma. Flavors wer similar and with a thin light body that is common for the style I find. Burnt dark roasy bitter aftertaste.

Draught, at the brewery

St. Paddy’s day must come early in Bellingham! Dark chestnut brown with thick light brown nitro head. Slightly nutty, chocolatey aroma. Slightly watery body. Chocolatey, with a hint of roast. A little bit of nuttiness, vanilla late. Not bad for a nitrobeer.

This beer has a great coffee character to it, even if it is a little on the light side for a stout.
