Moylans Dragoons Dry Irish Stout
Black body with dark red highlights around the edges when held up to a lamp; two finger sand coloured head drops to about a half inch in about 45 seconds. Smell is sweet, dry roasted, dark malts and little else. This smells pretty nice. Wow! Taste is nearly a milk stout and less a Irish-style stout. Pretty sweet and malty all the way through. Lots of dark malty flavours with a touch of chocolate deep down and indeed, a bit of milkiness like Mackeson's. Not as assertive in the sugar department as Mackeson, but it *does* taste similar. Mouthfeel has a great weight to it to only be 5,0%. I was unsure what to expect with this one, but it certainly did not fail to please. Even though this did not drink like the style in which it is supposed to be (Irish Dry), it's still a very well crafted stout. Good job, Moylan's.
