This brew is a mix of their dry irish stout and the sharkstooth IPA, which I thought was interesting.
The beer arrives with the IPA on the bottom, as to be expected. The separation is well poured, with very little muddiness. The stout is nitro poured, and thus leaves a dense crown of creamy head atop the beer. Good retention, with rings of lace down the glass. As I make my way through the beer, it mixes a bit and winds up a murky looking brown on the last few sips.
The aroma is initially mostly stout, with a mild citric hopping from the IPA. As it gets stirred up, the IPA displays some of it's fruitiness and a bit of biscuity malt.
The flavor is mainly stout until about halfway through, where more of the IPA comes forth. The roasted coffee malt mingles happily with the citric hops, providing a very pleasant sweetness. The IPA does quite a bit to boost the flavor of the stout. The stout is good, but the IPA is really a stand out. The nitro from the stout provides some creaminess to the mouthfeel.
I definitely enjoyed it more when the two beers started to mix. If I got another one, I think I'd just mix them together right off the bat. Both beers are just fine on their own, but it's certainly an interesting mix.
