THe aroma is a touch sweeter than I am used to for a dry stout, but it is nice. Caramel, chocolate, and roast. More roasted notes up front followed by caramel and chocolate, light coffee notes round out the finish. Some lingering sweet earthy notes. Smooth carbonation from the nitro. Good. raphael (419), Portland, Oregon, USA

8/19/2007: North Fork Dry Stout has lots of darkly roasted malt and barley in the aroma and flavor. The flavor also has a hint of chocolate. The color of this beer is dark brown, but pretty much looks black in the glass. It has a lasting dense, creamy head that leaves adequate lacing. The body of the beer is medium-light and a touch watery, but smooth and mellow all at the same time. It kind of feels like skim milk or something on the palate. Overall this is a decent dry stout that would benefit from some additional body as well as some complexity to take the edge off of the near-burnt aroma and flavor.
Draught sample at The North Fork Brewery - Pizzeria - Beer Shrine in Deming, Washington. Rating #9 for this beer... omhper (12260), Stockholm, Sweden

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2005 Very dark brown colour with rich head. Chocolatey, slightly roasty aroma with a fair bit of nuttiness. Chocolately character, very smooth and sweet. Hints of roasty acidity and background nuttiness. Some folks might want a roastier, heftier stout but for a sweeter example you can’t really ask for a whole lot more. TimE (1354), Tokyo, Japan
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Apr 18, 2004 This beer is waaaaayyyy to malty. They basically forgot to add any hops. Not balanced, but if you love VERY malt accented stouts you might like this.
