Bridge Road Irish Stout
This Irish Stout is a winter release that came back for a second run after selling through quickly the first time. It pours jet black under a thick, tight tan head that holds. Dark roast malt and earthy hops set the frame, and the palate runs on bitter cacao and freshly roasted coffee with a whisper of smoke at the end. The body is smooth and rounder than 4.3 per cent would suggest, and the close is dry with the roast still hanging on.
