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.

Bottle. Poured a dark black body with nice head. Aroma is cocoa, coffee. Flavor is bitter chococolate, light hops and coffee. More carbonated then I thought it would be.

Poured with a nice chocolaty head and sat beautifully in the glass. A lovey brown/red hue. I really enjoyed this stout but I thought it was too sweet to be a dry stout. I was surprised by by how light in body this was judging by how it poured, but I really enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of nitrogenated beers, but fortunately this wasn’t overly evident.

Pours dark black with a small dark tan head. Coffee in the nose as well as predominant in the flavor profile. Not as full bodied as I had expected...a little thin feeling. A decent dry stout.

A very well balanced dry stout. Very roasty up front, chewy, coffee highlights with a slightly hoppy and bitter finish. Notes of chocolate, molasses, toast and coffee throughout, a delicious, sessionable stout. Great for a winter day at the local pub.

Pours a pitch black with a short lived but finger-thick loose brown head - I was expecting a paler Guinness-style thick head... interesting. Head reduces to thin cover of foam on the top with some lacing. Aroma is very faint - thin toasted malt & light molasses. Tastes of very light coffee with plenty of cream, light chocolate, buttery and lightly toasty. Very faint bittering hops. Light carbonation, thin body, but quite pleasantly creamy mouthfeel. I do like the chocolaty taste here, and the thinness doesn’t bother me so much as I am expecting a sturdy but sessionable dry stout and Moylans delivers. Very nice!

Ebony body with a tall brown head. Roasted chocolate aroma. Dry cocoa and milk chocolate, very smooth body, with lingering chocolate in the finish. One solid stout, one of the best stouts I’ve had in a long time, great flavor with a mild ABV.
