9/10/2010: I know know about Furthermore Beer company, or any of their beers, but I decided to pick one up on a recommendation from a friend. They had a few to pick from at my local 6 pack shop, and I decided to go for the stout since in my opinion a bad stout is still better than an average IPA.
The nose is just amazing for an Irish Dry Stout; a style which usually is pretty average in the smell department. Lots of chocolate malt, with some smoke on the side. The flavor is a lot more than i expected, mostly bittersweet chocolate, a good bit of peat (earthy/smoky type flavor), some grassy hops, and a splash of roasted coffee on the backend. Mouthfeel is average, carbonation average, and it finishes dry but pleasant.
Picture of the day: Reality is a complex thing.
I love their lighter bodied coffee beer Oscura, which I believe is a steam beer.
I heard its amazing, but for whatever reason my local six pack shop doesn’t get this. They get all their other beers though!
Smoked with peat huh? I would love to try this one next time we trade.
You got it!
