Blue Fin
Named after the bluefin tuna that return to the Maine coast every summer, this is a classic Irish dry stout, full-bodied yet smooth. Dark roasted barley gives it a bold, powerful flavor, and the chocolate malts bring rich notes of roasted coffee, espresso and chocolate. Summit, Tettnang, E.K. Goldings and Cascade provide the hops. 4.7% ABV and 43 IBU, available on keg only.
