Button Down Brewing Ríastrad
What the brewers say
“Prominent coffee flavor, but not overpowering. A medium-body stout.”
What our panel thought
“Pine-like hop notes and gentle hints of peppermint blend nicely with roasted malt in the subtle nose. Coffee emerges in the flavor to complement the roast and chocolate malt sweetness; its bitterness lingers into the finish leaving a pleasant coating of espresso-like flavor.”
What our editors thought
“Coffee and hops in the nose, with a light caramel sweetness. The flavor embraces the punchy hops, yielding a funky rhythm as the bitter dark malt tries to find its place.”
