I have to agree with mittenstein - this is the best dry stout I've ever had. It is a classic. Perfect dark body, though a little lacking in the head department. Roasty nose. Lots of roastiness in the flavor, with some chocolate, but a very slight sweetness. Coffee undertones. Nearly perfect dry finish. Zero bitterness. This was my first sample in this evenings Southampton beer voyage, and it got me off to a great start.
