Tasting Notes
Irish-style Dry Stout made in America. This stouts features lovely aromas of dark chocolate cake, freshly roasted coffee, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is light and smooth with flavourful dark-malt driven notes that lead into a light, dry finish. An excellent take on the style!
Method
Normally American craft breweries when making a beer that just says “Stout” on the label would make an American Stout, an assertively hoppy and bitter dark beer. But Mason’s owner Chris has deep connections with Ireland and he instead made a lovely example of an Irish Dry Stout. A style that is roasty and full of dark chocolate, coffee, and malt flavour while being very light and refreshing on the palate. Just like Guinness, O’Hara’s, or 2 Crows Maritime Classic, this Dry stout is very well made and goes down way too easy.
