Irish Style Dry Stout is remarkably similar to Maguires. It has a thick, beige head and a very dark brown appearance, with some lacing. The aroma is of dark-roasted malt, chocolate, and sourness. The flavor is similar, with low bitterness and sweetness. Irish Style Dry Stout has a rather thin body and a dry finish. This is a fairly dull product.

RJT

Appearance: Onyx black,, even before a strong light source, with massive, coarse cloud top tan head with excellent retention. Patches of fat bubbles cling to the glass wall, beneath the surface. Belgian-style lacing adorns the glass wall.

Aroma: Roasted barley, cold coffee, and bitter cocoa comprise the aroma.

Taste: The taste opens with moderate roasted barley and bitter cocoa, later in the taste, there is a note of cold coffee. As the taste draws to a close, there is a bit of a charcoal note and some modest herbal hops.

Mouth feel: Smooth and rich, full and pleasant, with modest soft carbonation.

Drinkability/notes: A very nice and quite drinkable example, with a modest ABV of 4.2%, this would make a very nice session beer.. I wish i could find this in six-packs.

Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce aluminum can, served in a La Fin du Monde tulip. Beer number four in the 2022 Aldi Beer Advent Calendar.
