Sandlot Irish Stout

Brewed by Sandlot Brewery (MolsonCoors)
Style: Dry Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

On Tap at the Sandlot Brewery, Denver 30/09/2005 Dark red coloured and smooth on the palate. Slightly dry clean roast finish.

Toffee, caramel, chocolate aromas are not exactly what I’d expect from a dry stout. Opaque brown body with a low tan head that recedes to ring. Toffee is dominant in the sweet flavour also with only a hint of roastiness in the lasting, sweet finish. Medium body with low carbonation. Seems far too sweet and somewhat cloying especially for a dry stout. Sampled on tap at the Sandlot at Coors Field.

Tap at brewery. Pours a lifeless, flat, and dark with an aroma of vinegar. Flavor is nice chocolate and roasted malt. Palate is a bit watery, but it coats.

A bit thin. Sweet and oily with a light maple and sweet olive flavor. Smells a little buttry, but it’s decent enough. Sweet and simple, some slightly roastiness noticed but also some slight defects. If you don’t add much flavor those defects will show up guys. Another Guinness clone, albeit better than most.

Pour is dark brown with thin tan head with bubbles that looked of gasoline...smell is mildly roasty with hits of cabbage...taste is garbage water with a nice hoppy finish...
