Black color. Aromas and flavors of pumpernickel toast, coffee, chicory, and grilled black bread with a finely carbonated, dry medium body and a complex, medium-long finish with notes of roasted nuts, smoke, and baker’s chocolate. Dry, bitter, rich and svelte all at the same time — bracingly terrific.

Dry Stout

Dry stouts are typically dark in color and range from 4-5.5% in alcohol. These brews tend to be rich with a definitive bitter note and a dry finish. The style is closely associated with Ireland, specifically Guinness. It is also widely emulated throughout the world and is particularly popular with US microbrewers and brewpubs, often as a more full-bodied and dryer interpretation of the original style. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Guinness Extra Stout, O’Hara’s Irish Stout and North Coast Old #38 Stout.
