Flavours of dark coffee and toast with a balancing bitterness. Lightly carbonated with very smooth texture and dry finish.

Delicious, toasty, not too aggressive, brilliantly balanced. Wish it came in casks, though. The brewery shouldn't be afraid to sell a traditional style like this in a more traditional form - it would round it out, in my humble opinion. A great session-able stout - a bit of a rarity.

I tried the Persephone Brewing Nitro Dry Irish Stout on tap at Timbers on Robson in Vancouver BC on March 15, 2019. A very creamy, subtle taste & feel. Okay head. Easy drinking. Interesting flavors, & a beer that people should try if they come across it

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square, a couple of days after the Persephone tap takeover here, of which I was just made aware.
This beer appears a clear, very dark brown colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and fairly creamy tan head, which leaves some splattered wave crest lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, brown sugar, bittersweet cocoa powder, black licorice, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a free-range ashiness, dry chocolate chips, wet wheat crackers, faint anise spice, and more understated earthy, leafy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a hint of damp smoke making a minor fuss here. It finishes off-dry, with some lingering chocamel essences most evident.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with a decently robust flavour, and fairly well balanced to boot. Easy enough to put back, even if it is indeed rather summary outside today, right little Miss bartender lady?

on nitro tap at the alibi room in Vancouver. opaque brown to black body with just the right amount of creamy chestnut on top. flavor is creamy smooth and delicious, with a seriously chocolate malt flavor coming through. balanced and mild but also incredibly flavorful. one of the best nitro stouts I can remember drinking in recent years and all around a great example of the style.
