Commercial Description:
The tastiest dark brew since the rollicking days of the infamous Donnybrook Fair, Donnybrook Stout offers unparalleled refreshment for an ale so deep in flavor and intrigue. Fresh, whole flower British and Slovenian hops provide the proper, earthy hint of 'the auld sod' while deep roasted barley and low alcohol keep Donnybrook Stout clean, smooth and flavorful. Served on mixture of 75% nitro and 25% CO2.

A nice, easy drinking Guinnes like nitro-infused dry stout. It seems to be a growing trend at the time around West Chester for brewpubs and breweries to create nitro-stouts and Victory does a fine job with the style. Recommended.

Tap @ Victory. The beer was a very dark brown opaque color except for the edges. There was a good sized creamy tan head. The aroma was lightly roasted with a mild sweetness. The flavor had more roast to it with a touch of chocolate. Light bodied and carbonation. Mildly bitter and dry finish.

Draught @ Victory: This one pours a very dark brown with a dense tan head. There was some cascading of the head: very Guinness-like. It leaves some lacing down the glass. The aroma was very mild. There were some roasted malts and a hint of chocolate. The taste is much better than the aroma and ABV would imply. Lighter body, but a good bit of chocolate and a hint of roasted malt. Very easy to drink.

Nitro. No it doesn’t have the appearance of Guinness but it’s a hell of a lot roastier. Nicely bitter and drinkable with some chocolate and raisin. Could be just a bit creamier from the nitro.

Nice session stout. Not overly guinnessed in its creaminess, allowing this stout to stay dry and nuanced. Highly recommended.

(nitro draft @ Monty’s Krown - Rochester, NY) Black and cloudy at the start with a thick and creamy tan head. Very light aroma of roasted malts and some cream. Flavor is dry and roasty with a very light hint of cream and bitterness of burnt coffee at the end of it. A little thin, but not too bad.

Tap at the Happy Gnome. Black, typical nitro appearance. Nose of dog food, wild rice, and earth. Somewhat barren and lacking positive qualities. Tastes of a cranberry-tinted mineral water, a mild warehouse coffee, and fundraiser chocolate. Lifeless palate. A pretty pointless experience.
