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) deep black with nice tan head and some lace. Not a lot of aroma-roast malt in what there is. Flavor is bitter roasted coffee

Loose tan head on nearly black with red highlights. Coffee, dusty cocoa, burnt toast and leather aromas. A hint of milk. Rather thin in body. Great roast barley showcase. Hate to say it but it may be good on N2.

Bottle... Poured black with a billowy, tan head. Roasted aroma of almonds and sugary malts. On the lighter side, a nice creamy lactic yeast flavor with roasted malts and mild hop balance. Chocolately, cookie flavor meshed with a smoked, charcoal coffee note in the finish.

Frothy, big bubbled head - plenty of carbonation here. Cocoa and slight hints of coffee in the flavo nad roasty maltsr, but the flavor is also somewhat too watery. The finish is bitter and seems "off", metallic even. I was happy about the idea of the "organic" thing since I love Brooklyn’s organic porter so much, but this was pretty disappointing. I wish that I had known it was made for Whole Foods before I bought it, and I probably wouldn’t have. Oh well.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, almost black color with a thick tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, and a touch of coffee. Flavor is quite pleasant, with a nice creamy chocolate, coffee, and roasted flavor. Definitely one to check out again.

Pours a semi-clear brown, with a tan head. Aromas are chocolate, caramel, and roasted malt. Flavors are chocolate, roasted malt, ans some bitter coffee. A nice, but not special stout. Thanks to Andre for this bottle.
