A classic Irish stout, General is brewed with British Pale Malt, Roast Barley, Chocolate Malt, and a touch of Oats. We serve it on Nitro to enhance the smooth mouthfeel. The General features notes of chocolate and hints of coffee.

This stout is poured from a normal tap but the body holds some nitro tap resemblance as the head was thick and creamy. The color was deep and radiant black.
The aromas are a bit chalky with some burnt embers and phenolic duct tape like scent.
The taste was a bit chalky also but the burnt ember and burnt toast flavors were overpowering enough to keep the chalkboard from ruining this.
The feel is smooth and there seems little carbonation. This stout is easy to drink but does lack the heavy fullness that one should.

Appearance: dark brown almost black in color with a 1" head that slowly falls.
Smell: roasted malts is all the nose can pick up.
Taste: roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a bit of coffee are the main flavor components. Bitterness is very mild here.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Lightly crisp to start, smooth and velvety at the finish. Short lasting aftertaste.
Overall: a mellow and easy quaffing stout. Low in alcohol, this is a good session beer if you are parked at the bar for a few hours.
