Tasting
notes
Appearance: Nice pillowy off-white one finger head. Moderate head retention. Great clarity.

Aroma: Dominated by a dry roasted aroma. Dry, roasted, almost smoky aroma with notes of toast and coffee. Very light earthy hop aroma, but difficult to detect. No diacetyl. Slight phenolic smoky aroma. No alcohol.

Mouthfeel: Very low body, and very drinkable. Moderate carbonation level is slightly high for a stout, but brings out the roasted malt flavor and aroma. No creaminess. No alcohol warmth.

Flavor: Again dominated by roasted barley. A dark, toasty character with notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Very low levels of earthy hops and smoky phenols. No diacetyl. No alcohol.

Overall: Very drinkable. Dry, clean finish leaves no residual sweetness. Lighter body makes this stout very drinkable in large quanitites.
