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 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.

Creates a soft pillow of a head, Color is a dark brown that has light still able to shine through. Aroma is a little roasty of malt and coffee but the flavor is more stronger serving of these two flavors. Creamy and easily quaffable.

Pours a deep brown with a tan head. The aroma is chicory, and licorice. The flavor is roasted coffee, a hint of dark fruit, and dirt. Finishes dry with a note of hops. Was not terribly impressive.

Bottle. Poured black with ruby highlights. Frothy tan head that settles to a ring and left good lace. Aromas of coffee and milk chocolate. The flavor was much the same with a little roast coming out also. Medium body with a light coffee bitter aftertaste.

Opaque black with a half-inch tan head. Roasted malt aroma; roasted malt and coffee flavors. Thin mouthfeel and body. Kind of generic feeling, but not bad.
