Breckenridge Dry Irish Stout

June 8, 2017

Breckenridge Brewery

Nitro Dry Irish Stout
Littleton, Colorado
Style: Nitro Irish-Style Dry Stout ABV: 4.8%


This certainly seems intent on going head to head with Guinness. Breckenridge’s nitro stout, poured firmly to ensure that nitrogen foam forms, glistens in the glass with persistent lacing. This is generous in clearly expressed milk chocolate and soft roast, plus (seemingly) a hint of lactose—everything round and smooth, perfectly drinkable. There’s even a subtle sourdough yeasty note, reinforcing those initial famous-Irish-stout parallels.
