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.

bottles in a 4 pak. Decent off white head over clear, dark ruby brown. I can’t smell, allergys, but roast and maybe hops. Full bodied and very enjoyable esp. for an organic.... nice. Coffee, bitter choc. and malts. A bit watery, thou it doesn’t get in the way. I’d def. buy again.

Pours out dark brown, tan head. Smells malty and roasted. Taste is weak yet still pretty good. Tastes very similar to a watered down Old Rasputin. Nice beer though.

Pours out a deep dark brown color with a small tan head. Flavor is nice and malty. Aroma is malty and has nice hints of chocolate. Over all a nice brew.

12 oz bottle. Clear dark brown color, red around the edges. Foamy tan head. Aroma is roasty and dominated by coffee and chocolate. Promising chocolate notes up front, but falls flat in the middle. There is a touch of roasty bitterness at the end that really hangs around.

Pours black with a very thin beige head. Standard stout chocolate and slight caramel malts with a hoppy aftertaste, good tasting beer, thin and easy to drink.

Bottle into a snifter. Beer pours a clear, very dar, nearly opaque brown color with a large, light brown, frothy, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is heavily malty with pleasing notes of slightly husky, roasted grain and coffee; Moderately hoppy with a note of resin/pine; Moderately yeasty with notes of damp basement and cheese; Trace miscellaneous notes of cinnamon, honey and coconut. The flavor is lightly bitter, moderately acidic and lightly sweet with an average-length, slighly warm, lightly bitter, moderately acidic finish. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average.

Bottle thanks to Degarth: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany brown with a nicely-lacing, frothy off-white head. Lightly sweet, dry roasty aroma has some dark chocolate notes. Body starts with a sweet crystal and roasted maltiness with a drier, chalky mouthfeel becoming more prominent toward the finish. An ok dry stout, but nothing special.

A really light dry stout, a little too much carbonation, came bubbling out of the bottle. Lots of licorice and molasses, dry and roasty, with some chocolately malts, but overall very thin and weak.
