Issue #20: Another Pick-A-Six Gem

It's always such a pleasure to find a good beer via the pick-a-six method. It's relatively inexpensive and it's normally made up of beers that you wouldn't otherwise buy. When you get a beer that's not great, it's no big deal, but when you get a beer that you'd go back to, it's pretty awesome. One such beer is Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout. It always helps when you have no expectations, but this one delivered.

Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout - 3.9% ABV
Dry Stout
Winter Seasonal
12 oz bottle poured into a pub glass
Bottle date: Best Before 06/13

Appearance - Black with a medium, creamy, tan colored head that fades slowly.

Aroma - Smells sweet; cola, chocolate, coffee.

Taste - Flavor is very nice. Sweet, cola, chocolate, coffee, a little vanilla and a slightly bitter finish.

Mouthfeel - Good carbonation, a little thin but not bad, nice and creamy.

Overall - I was definitely expecting something super thin and bland but that is not even close to what I got. This beer has tremendous flavor, great presentation and a nice silky body. At less than 4% you can drink them all day too. Grab this one before its gone. 3.5/5

Drink On,

Dan
