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.

12 oz. bottle - first ’organic’ bear that i’ve tried; lacked taste and flavor; very thin and flat when poured into glass

Pours a medium dark brown with a tan head that leaves substantial lacing. Really nice nose with chocolate, vanilla, caramel and molasses. The flavor is quite the same and slightly coffee like bitterness in the finish. A bit thin in body, but overall enjoyable and underrated.

Pours a nice dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted coffee beans. Black coffee and dark chocolate flavor with a hint of smoke near the end. My only problem with this beer is that it’s a little thin. Still enjoyable and worth a shot.

Bottle thanks to BMan1113VR. Pours a very dark black brown color with a medium to large sized puffy light tan head. Nose is chocolate milk, coffee, little bit of earth, brownie, and some grass. Taste is like a burnt brownie dunked in some milk with a little bit of caramel drizzle. This is actually enjoyable. First organic product that has no ended up in the drain. Well done.

Dark brown medium bodied stout sporting a thin beige head. Chocolate, roasted malts higher alcohol in this overall Dry Stout. Picked Old Polwshare up @ Total Wine in Cherry Hill, NJ. There was no mention of it being brewed for Whole Foods on the label.

From oaktree 12oz poured kind of a pale brown , at least at first , then settled to a dark brown body with a creamy head that faded fast. Nose was burnt coffee and caramel. There is a underlying sweetness to this, and a pleasant coffee after taste. Good solid stout.

Pours a dark brown with light tan head. Chocolate, roasted coffee, a bit of light fruit, slightly sweet, slightly bitter. Pretty well balanced, and tastes good for an organic.

rich burnt grain on the nose, dark brown and thin body with a light tan head. full dark flavor but very light in body. lingering burnt bread and solid all around flavor. great for the style
