A: Like a blood soaked mud puddle, this little beer pours out a noire chocolate with deep red tints and beautiful full head

S: Typical stout roasted malts, flirty sweet notes of toffee and tanging coffee that have an odd underlying metallic scent. Possibly an over handling of the beer.

T: Unlike the Irish stouts that roll around the island, Iron stout has more carbonation and drinkability with a smooth malt/cocoa ratio and light touch of tart sweetness.

M: Strangely medium body due to carbonation and sugary coating residue left from tart finishing aspect.

O: Finding a unique beer like this in Bali is bliss. Finding a poor example of a stout like this in the USA would be devastating. I relished the beer while people sipped their lagers with shock and wiped sweat from their brows. The high carbonation might make this beer less then competitive but it also gives it a abnormally dry and smooth drinkability in lue of the weather.

Very dark, basically flirting with black, this beer had ruby edges and was topped by a fluffy tan cap. Fair head retention with a bit of lacing. The aroma had the classic stout character - malty, mellow roast, chocolate, cocoa, toffee - with some yeasty notes. Moderate bitterness with lots of dry roastiness and cocoa. There was some sour cherry flavour towards the end and it finished a little on the acidic/phenolic side, seemingly from the dark malts. Roast lingered. Carbonation was on the high side, body was medium, quite dry. An easy drinking stout that contrasted a bit with the Irish style stouts that were more plentiful in Bali. The body and texture were very similar to the other beers I had from this brewer, just a little too dried out and the carbonation a little bit too high.
