Great Lakes Wolfhound Stout

Unfortunetly, served on nitro which totally killed the aroma, but this beer looke delicious and really was a great dry stout, opaque deep reddish/brown/black with a thick head. Not much aroma (thanks nitro), but a pleasantly bitter taste with coffee and other roasted flavors. Nice backend bitter finish that was nice and dry. All and all a very good stout.

On draft at the brewpub. To me, this is about as fine an example of a dry stout as one can expect. I believe this is my first 5 for appearance. It was just so sumptuous looking - opaque, thick, oily, with a perfect inch of cafe au lait head sitting contentedly on top of the brew. Strong but not overpowering roasted barley in the nose. And the taste lasted forever, with the roasts coming in initially but rounded by a nicely complex malt flavor, thick and chewy oatmeal, and a superbly creamy mouthfeel. Truly enjoyable.

On tap at the brewery. Always worth the trip. The pour is a deep black with a nearly white frothy head. Looks much like a Guiness. The aroma is of deep roasted malts with a hint of sweat coffee. The flavor is not at all like a Guiness, the malts are stronger and the flavor of coffee is fairly pronounced though out the tasting. The finish is quickly, but the malt leaves a bit of an aftertaste. Very good stout. Very good.

on Tap @ GLBC, black beer, looks like guinness, tastes a hell of a lot better... nice smooth mouthfeel perfect for a dry stout, roasty flavors that was great. Really enjoyed trying this one
