Conway's Irish Stout
A dry Irish stout named, like its amber sister, for the founders' grandfather; it joined the winter lineup in 2025 and returned in 2026. Roasted barley and black malt sit on a two-row base with medium crystal, Caramel 30 and wheat, hopped with Nugget and Willamette. It pours near black under a tan head. Dark roast, bitter cocoa and espresso lead the nose, with a faint char. The body is light and smooth, and a firm roasted bitterness carries into a dry, coffee-tinged finish.
