Just as the Irish intended, but made right here in the East Bay. Smooth, velvety, and creamy, with hints of chocolate and roast at its edges. Nitrogen replaces Carbon Dioxide in the finishing tank, changing the tactile sensation of this beer's mouthfeel. Easy drinking, and low ABV, making this a beer a classic sessionable option. 4.8% ABV | 33 IBU

After all these big beers it was nice to dial it back with an easy sipper like this. Their dry stout has a pleasing almost-black/brown color with a thick creamy head. There’s a welcoming roasty coffee aroma to this, with some dark chocolate and a mellow sweet touch. Smooth mouthfeel, creamy flavor, sweet & dry.

I tried this beer at the brewery in San Leandro. Very similar to Guinness and Murphy's. Unfortunately they only have it on tap since it's a Nitro Stout. I wish I can find it at a local tap room or restaurant closer to home....
