  Dublin/Ireland

  STYLE – Irish Dry Stout

   ABV – 6.00

  IBU - 40

  DATE – 30 MAY 2011

  SERVING TYPE – 12 oz Bottle

  GLASSWARE – Irish Pub glass

  APPEARANCE – Black in color.  Nice thick head that dissipates quickly, but leaves a nice lacing

  AROMA- A mild licorice and roasted malts

  TASTE – Strong burnt coffee flavor that you would expect from a good stout.

  MOUTHFEEL – This beer defines the word in “Dry” in dry Stout.  That feeling that a very dry wine leaves in your mouth, well that sums it up for this beer, not complaining.  I like it.

  CONCLUSION – A good all around dark beer.  Not too heavy but heavy enough to remind you it is a stout.  I could drink this year round.
