On my second visit to Vintage 50 this week I decided to try their Irish Stout. While it did not exactly impress as much upon me as the Point of Rocks Pale Ale, which I found to be fantastic, the stout was rather nice.
Appeared a very pitch black color with no discernable light shining through. Provided a thin, fizzy light brown head with some reddish color to it. Very little lace left as the beer receded. The aroma was slightly sweet and malty, but also noticeable dry (can a smell be dry? yes... yes it can...), which mellowed out quite nicely. As the beer warmed up a bit, stronger notes of chocolate and coffee began to emerge. The taste was bold with coffee bitterness and a dry-as-a-bone finish. Traces of faint fruity esthers emerged in the middle. The mouthfeel was a bit thinner than expected, but was solid and crisp nonetheless. Overall, a clean , thirst-quenchingly dry stout. I would suggest letting this warm up a bit before enjoying, in order to fully appreciate the nuances of this fine beer. Would definitely be best in winter or fall, but was quite quaffable on this cool spring day in May.
