IV Stout is a very dark, top fermented beer made from pale malt, roasted unmalted barley and a caramel malt.
The style was first introduced by Guinness as an extra stout version of their porter. The new stout was darker, hoppier and richer than porter, which it gradually overtook in popularity.

Had this beer on tap poured into a shaker pint. Rich dark brown color with beautiful brown head and good curtain lacing. Chocolate and roasted malt smell and taste. Some sweet dark berries. Rich full smooth feel. Actually seem a bit rich for an export stout but very tasty.

On tap at brewery. This is a solid stout, this close to being something special and just falling short. Minimal head sets the tone, normal roast grain aroma and taste, and a texture that's just shy of velvety. Good, tasty and robust.

A- Dark brown, opaque body, one finger brown head, nice retention time, no lacing.
S- Rich coffee, roasted malt, milk chocolate, a bit of earthy aromas, just a little bit of licorice/dark fruit. Smells solid.
F- Easy to drink and nice complexity with roasted malt, milk chocolate, a little bit of espresso and dark fruit, plenty of earthy bitterness on the backend that seems to contribute more flavour than bitterness. Very tasty with solid complexity.
M- Medium bodied, silky smooth and dangerously easy to down. The earthy bitterness on the backend provides character but is still not too bitter to get in the way of drinking the entire glass.
O- I enjoyed this more than the other stouts I've had in New Mexico and that's a fair number. Nice roastiness, dark fruit and plenty of earthy character that doesn't make it a big bitter bomb. Good stuff.
