Beer-a-Day #205
I’ll guess we’ll stick to imports for another day. I’d say European, but this is actually a product of Canada. (At least they still get to say it’s an import.)
Inky dark, with a light beige head. I get a bit of vanilla and a smidgen of coffee. Flavor’s a little harsh; it’s not as smooth as I was expecting from an Irish stout. It’ll do in a pinch.
I’m curious to know if this is any different to the Irish produced one. I much prefer a bottle of Extra Stout to the bland nitrogentated stuff that comes out of a tap (but I’ve never tried the Canadian version). From the bottle I find it much richer in flavour; a touch more malty and roastier.
