Sheaf Stout
Sheaf Stout came out of the Tooth and Co brewery in Sydney and is still made for the New South Wales market, where it is the state's classic dark beer. Dark malts set roasted coffee and bitter cocoa over a burnt-toffee sweetness, with a dark berry note behind them. The body stays medium rather than heavy and the finish turns notably dry, carried by roast bitterness more than by hops. Black under a tan head.
