Commercial Description:
This magnificent hearty stout will make any Irishman homesick. Paddy Giffen, the brewer, combines Great Western Two Row Pale, De Wolf-Cosyns Caravienne, De Wolf-Cosyns Special B, Breiss Black Barley, and Breiss Flaked Barley malts with Columbus hops in order to produce this distinct draft style ale. We use nitrogen gas to create an especially sturdy head and velvety sensation as one experiences the full body and rich roasted coffee flavors of this session beer. Moylan's Stout is modeled after the nitrogen-delivered draft stouts of Ireland. Unlike bottled stout, it is light in body and alcohol content. The mixed gas conditioning (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) delivers a smooth, creamy texture to both the palate and the eye.

Pour is a nice deep almost black dark brown. The head is small, and deep tan. The aroma is dominated by the sweet roasty malts. There are a lot of flavors in this beer. The hops are fairly quite, the flavor is very chocolate/coffee with nice nutty overtones. The roasted malts are not too strong, and give a nice splash of sweetness. The finish is not crisp, but does not linger too long. The body over all I would describe as medium bodied. A very enjoyable stout.

Draft-Nitrogen @ brewery. Very dark, almost brown head, aroma of coffee, very creamy and smooth, pretty flavorful for an Irish Stout, a style that I normally find lacking

GABF 2007. Wonderful dry coffee roast smell. Thin bodied, not much intensity to the flavor. The roastiness that’s there is watered down, waits until the finish to emerge. Other than that, there’s not much here to describe other than a little sourness throughout. Not as malty or as dry as I would like.

On tap @ Moylans poured a translucent dark brown with a large lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of milk chocolate, mocha and vanilla. Palate was light bodied, smooth, creamy and slightly dry. Flavors of coffee, coca and light vanilla with a smooth dry bittersweet finish.
