Traditional Irish Dry Stout. More taste, more balance, more natural. Roast coffee and fruit notes balanced by delicious Hop Bitterness.

Can at CBJ, thanks to Cloin. Near clear brown beer, small tan head. Airy, semi dry finish, modest fine carbonation. Thin papery dark malts, a mild bitterness, thin dry finish. Nothing here that ticks any boxes.

Can split at the CBJ tasting, picked up from an online peddler whom I can't recall, 25/06/2025.
Light black topped with a khaki cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is chocolate, charr, roast malts.
Taste comprises chocolate biscuit, brown bread, dark malts, roasted bite.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Decent enough straight up stout.

440ml nitro can. Black pour with a dense smooth beige head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is the same, predominantly roast malt and coffee notes, dark chocolate, fruity hints, caramel, moderate bitterness. A light but very smooth body. On par with the stout you're thinking of, I'd say.

0.44l can. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and nuts. Pours pitch black color with thin creamy light brown head and fair lacing. Taste starts with rich roasted malt and mild sweet chocolate, following is ashy and nutty, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Roasted marble…

Bottle at Goblet ZG. Blackish body, tan head. Nutty, roasty, sweetish malty aroma. Lean, dry, roasty, bit oily taste, light bitterness. Oookay but quite forgettable.

Opak kolsvart vätska med en rejäl nitropumpad beige skumpuck. Krämig men lätt kropp, lättdrucken men ganska anonym smak av läder, textilplåster, svarta vingummin, cola, de sista två utan sötman. Väldigt lätt för en dryg stout. Ok
