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.

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.

12 oz bottle. Clear dark brown color, red around the edges. Foamy tan head. Aroma is roasty and dominated by coffee and chocolate. Promising chocolate notes up front, but falls flat in the middle. There is a touch of roasty bitterness at the end that really hangs around.

Bottle. Mocha, dusty brown sugar nose with lots of roasted malt and some swinging burnt coffee notes. Deep ruby-mahogany with a creamy tan head. Dry and lightly ashy taste with slight flittering malt sweetness. There’s a certain lightness about it, as if some stale air from the yeast under the char, light bitterness and inconsistent carbonation with a plummy end as the stout struggles to unify. Straightaway, by-the-numbers.

very dark red/ruby pour. The aroma is quite nice. Loads of cocoa powder! Its like smelling cake mix. WOw, the flavoris really quite nice. loads of chocolate, cocoa powder, touches of coffee in the finish with a nice lingering bitteress. Very sweet overall, and not really what i would consider a dry stout. Kinda thin for a stout also, I think this would be at home in the porter category.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a murky brown with a little head. Aroma is malty with a bit of roasted chocolate and a touch of coffee. Taste is a tad bitter with a dry finish to it. Not too impressed by this one.
