Nitro McCarthy Stout
Alaska's original canned nitro stout — a dry Irish stout with a nitrogen widget that pours the cascading tan head and silky mouthfeel you can usually only get on draft. Roasted coffee and dark chocolate up front, dry finish, low ABV. The first beer 49th State ever brewed, still on the flagship shelf.
