Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Dry Stout is a bold, reddish-black Irish-style stout, rich in color but low in alcohol and very drinkable. The dark colors results from brewing with roasted malts, lending Brooklyn Dry Stout a chocolate/coffee-like flavor with a bit of an espresso bite. The finish is dry and crisp and invites another pint.

Very much like Guinness, but a bit sweeter, fuller flavor and generally better all around. Its not nitro’d, which really helps it have a kick.

On draught at Winking Lizard in Columbus. Pours flat black with a medium and foamy beige head that disappears pretty fast. Thin sheets of lacing. Aroma of malt, coffee and some chocolate. Fairly rich mouthfeel and nicely creamy, with coffee, bittersweet chocolate and hops flavor. A bit of roasted malt in the background as well. The finish is smooth and creamy and has a lingering coffee bitterness. Examples like this or GLBC Wolfhound remind me that this style doesn’t have to be boring. Well done.

A very Guinness-like stout, but creamier, and without the sour finish. This was a good-looking, frothy-headed beer, with subtle flavors of chocolate and coffee.

More Irish than hurling.

Probably the finest American-made dry stout I've had. Tastes very similar to Guinness, but without the bitterness. Slight chocolate undertones with a nice, dry finish.

Draft at Winking Lizard. Black liquid with a small head that was hard to see in the dim lighting. A somewhat roasty/bitter chocolate aroma/flavor. The body isn’t too heavy and the finish is quite dry. It went quite well with my bar food, it didn’t interfere with any overbearing flavors or aroma. Very light and drinkable.

Cask @ Spuyten Duyvil. Pours a nice dark black with amber highlights and a nice creamy head that fades slightly. Aroma is slightly roasty, some chocolate malts, distictive hop aromas as well as slight yeasty light fruity notes. Flavor is a light dry roasted barley, light coffee, chocolate light caramel and finishes nice and dry with a light mouthfeel and aftertaste.
