Commercial Description:
Brewed for Whole Foods. Old Plowshare is a full-flavored Celtic style Stout. Smooth and firm-bodied with the bold flavor notes of dark roasted malts. Because Old Plowshare is organic it remains true to the time-honored Irish tradition of respect for natural ingredients. A great pub classic or the perfect Black and Tan.

Bottle. Clear dark brown body. White rum / caramel aroma with just a touch of the dark stuff at the end. Good flavor - a well blended mix of sweet golden raisin-y sweetness with coffee bean roasty chocolate. Just-velvety mouthfeel - compliments the overall strength well. A fine stout!

Smells very nice. Looks good. A thick solid dry stout, could be used as a sounding board for the style. Good stuff.

I like this stout. I wonder if this recipe is the same as Old No. 38, but organic. This beer is light, but favorable. There is a nice balance between coffee, chocolate, and spicy hops.

Dark brown. Coffee and malt aroma. Flavor is a bit weak, some dirty chocolate malt. Medium/heavy body and nice creamy feel and finish.

Bottle. A dark brown color with a diminished tan head. A slightly sour aroma with salt, roasted malts, and a touch of chocolate. A malty, slightly burnt, coffee and nut flavor.

Dark mahogany color. Shallow head. Thick lacing. Coffee bean aroma. Taste is acidic with coffee and oats tones. Very nice aftertaste that I can’t quit place. I am often left disappointed by organic brews, but this one was very pleasing.

Opaque black with a small head. Aroma of whole coffee beans in a plastic bag that was filled with hay. Taste is dry, thin, and bitter. A decent dry stout but I know that the term "organic" has many meanings and not all of them good. A marketing term.

Medium body, thin for a stout but with strong chocolate/coffee aromas. Very smooth to drink with strong coffee aftertastes. Head is minimal but the beer has a more carbonated taste than most stouts.
