This easy drinking nitro beauty pours smooth and creamy with just a hint of vanilla. Our Category 12 nod to classic Dry Irish Stouts

On tap at Category 12. Pours black with a light beige head. Burnt bread and bread crusts on the nose. Flavour is dry and roasty, pretty solid malt profile for a dry stout. For the style this is quite nice.

Roast and a little caramel. Not a lot of depth. Black pour with decent head. Light bitter end. Can.

Well I can tell by the way it fizzed up and died I am bound to be saddened. But of course I never expected it to be my favourite Deviation, that won'�t happen. But it'�s light, thin, not much complexity and what is with the vanilla? When making an Irish Stout you should always filter your recipe through the question of would I serve this to Shane MacGowan. I would not.

Black, large tan head. Lightly sweet vanilla nose, more prominent in palate. Very light roast character. More of a sweet rather than dry stout

Great nitro foam on a dark brownish black body. Soft malt on the nose, a bit of biscuit. Taste is smooth biscuit, chewy molasses, lingering sweetness. Kind of okay, but pretty forgettable.

On tap at Category 12, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is light, with toasted malt, a touch of coffee and dry cocoa. Flavour is similar, with dry earthy coffee and slight cocoa powder. Light-bodied and easy drinking. Decent.
