Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout is a Dry Irish Stout brewed in
Brooklyn, New York. This beer is highly
sessionable at 4.7% ABV and has 26 IBU’s.
I have never had this brew but I am glad to break it out on St. Patrick’s
Day.
Appearance- with a pretty aggressive pour only about 1
finger of head formed on the top of this beer but it did leave nice
lacing. This beer is really as black as
it gets with zero visibility through it.
It does have medium amounts of carbonation clinging to the sides.
Smell- Wow talk about
roasted malt and coffee in a beer. It
honestly smells dry from all the roasted malt and the bitterness from all the
grain used in this beer. There is just
the tiniest bit of bitter sweet chocolate right on the finish of the aroma.
Taste- Not much at
all on the taste. I cannot believe how
little there is on the taste. I get very
tiny amounts of roasted malt with a bit of a coffee finish. There is just a tiny bit of bitterness on the
back of the tongue but wow there is like nothing going on in this brew.
Mouthfeel- This beer
was crafted to be a highly sessionable beer for this day really. At 4.7%ABV you could drink this for a week
without being drunk but that is the point on St. Patrick’s Day to show up your
friends in a drinking contest.
Overall, it is a Dry Irish Stout and it is not bad just not
a lot of flavor like the rest of them. I
would buy it again just so I don’t fall into the trap of Guinness on St. Patrick’s
Day but I would not buy it any other time throughout the year. 3/5. CHEERS!
