Our take on a traditional Irish Stout, Black Sheep is easy-drinking and sessionable. Black with a lasting tan head, this brew starts off with a coffee-like aroma and smooth mouthfeel. Balanced with a restrained roast and undertones of bittersweet chocolate, finishing moderately dry.

Dark brown with the faintest of garnet on the edges and a huge frothy tan head that persists. Dry roasted dark graininess light caramel with bits of light fruit and earth to round it out. Pretty nice dry stout a hint of the sweet side compared to a Guinness but I'd drink these all day.
