Paper City Rileys Stout

Brewed by Paper City Brewery
Style: Dry Stout
Holyoke, Massachusetts USA

Poured into a tasting glass from the tap. The appearance is a black with a deep brown color when held to the light. The smell is of roasted malt. A bit of a smokey character. The taste has a chocolate taste to it with a malty flavor, and little charcoal flavoring as well. This is a crisp brew, quite creamy and is easy drinking. One of the better local brews as well as one of the best Irish stouts I’ve had. Worth a try.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with off-khaki head. Nose is roasty dark malt, figgy fruit, coffee. Tastes roasty dark msalty, with cacao, coffee, dark fruit, and sa smooth, decently complex palate.

One of the best from paper city. A great stout with throthy head and texture. Roasty coffee and dried fruit taste. A great beer for a cold rainy evening when you just don’t want to go out. Buy it for all your irish friends and dare them to say guiness is the world’s best stout.
