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.

Distinct milk chocolate aroma, with milder caramel notes. Dark garnet color, not opaque! Tan clumpy head. Chocolate flavors. Dry. Fairly light even for a dry stout.

Brew is light chestnut in color with a well retained beige colored head. A bit light in color for a stout. Aroma is pretty solid, with toasted nuts, cream, and some coffee in the background. Flavor is pretty tasty. Coffee, chocolate, cream. The finish is dry and bitter. I don’t think the palate is thin. This is a dry stout, not an imperial. Good beer.

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.

Dark reddish-brown color with a lot of light penetration. Medium thin beige head that lasts pretty well, and thin sheets of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Medium-bodied and creamy with lots of roasted coffee flavor throughout. Other flavors like chocolate and malt are not as consistent though. The finish is mildly bitter coffee and a little watery. Above average overall, and not by far.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Transparent ruby/black, small head. Roasty aroma with licorice and tobacco. Dry and clean with slim body. Some coffee and grapefruit, salty with notes of tobacco. Medium bitterness. A relatively drinkable laid back stout with a couple of sharp edges.

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.

12oz. Bottle: Weak aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Poured dark brown/mahogony in color with a medium-sized, rocky, khaki head that diminished but lasted. Clear. Sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor of bitter chocolate and roasted malts. Pretty boring flavor. Medium body. Slick texture. Average carbonation. Bitter chocolate and roasted malt finish. Not dry. Pretty boring overall, though not bad.

Dark beer that shines with mahogany colors when held against the light. Big, rocky beige head. Lots of dusty chocolate in the nose, with plenty of fresh cereal grains and malted milk balls. Flavors of coffee, dusty chocolate, malted milk balls, and an almost berry fruitiness under it all. Interesting flavors, but not my favorite stout.
