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.

Chocolately, malty aroma. Creamy in a way. Nearly opaque dark brown color with a significant light tan head that certainly sticks to the glass, though it seems unwilling to break into lace. Seems a bit thin bodied. Kind of chocolate malts, with a light undertone of dark roasted malt. The carbonation is very moderate, the feel is near creamy, and there is a decent amount of bitter, especially in the finish. Dry finish. Quite good.

Pours a not entirely opaque, almost cloudy brown with lots of lace. Bright notes of fresh coffee in the nose, some sea water and candied licorice. Mildly bitter roasted flavours and some nuttiness. Clean, dry, refreshing, bit sweet, tiny bit of acidity in the finish. If I could pick this up at my local supermarket it’d be a treat. Nicely done.

Seems a bit thin, but there’s flavor there to back it up. Not a huge raosty beast by any means. A Texas stout? I mean it seems like it’s rather easy drinking stuff, but well balanced and with a nice hop finish.

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.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a smallish off-white head. Aroma of heavily roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and a hint of prunes. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavours throughout with a good sweetness overlayed. The roasty malt characteristics cover the beer nicely and the bitterness and semi-sweetness continue on to the aftertaste efficiently. Overall, a good stout - definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 31 December 2006.

(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
