St-Ambroise Irish Stout
Black in the glass under a dense, cream-coloured head pushed by nitrogen rather than carbon dioxide, which gives a velvet feel and a very fine bead. Roasted barley supplies dry coffee grounds, dark chocolate and a burnt-crust note, and the bitterness comes as much from the roast as from the Nugget, Citra, Cascade and Centennial hops. The body is light for the colour, sweetness minimal, the finish dry and ashy.
