The Old Plowshare Organic Stout from North Coast Brewing Company in Fort Bragg, California pours out dark brown almost strong coffee black in color with a good sized tan head that sticks around. On the nose you can smell coffee, bitter chocolate, roasted grain and licorice. In the mouth flavors of roasted malt, licorice, coffee, cocoa with some nice bitterness and little sweetness. Full bodied. Moderate carbonation. Nice lacing. Creamy mouthfeel. Quite a long finish with good coffee flavor. A good stout that is very easy to drink.

12 ounce bottle, 5.70% ABV
