Third Street Aleworks Blarney Sisters Dry Irish Stout

Brewed by Third Street Aleworks
Style: Dry Stout
Santa Rosa, California USA

A deep dark stout with a thick resilient moka nitro head. A pleasant chocolate aroma with milkey, creamy qualities. In mouth, a smooth silky chocolate, light bitterness, a bit light but good. On tap at brewpub, August 16 2009.

Watery, opaque black with a ringing white head. Nutty aroma, toasted malts. Flavor has more nuts and toasted malts but does it all without being heavy. Thin, slightly dry finish. Sessionable but average.

Cask. Completely opaque black with a dense light brown head. Hard roasted malt aroma. Medium body, flat with a very soft mouthfeel. Solid base of hard roasted malts with a light malt bitterness in the finish. Solid offering. 110709
