IRISH STOUT ALE - Home Brew Beer Recipe Ingredient Kit - 5 Gallon Beer Making Kit - Make Beer at Home great DIY Gift - Beer Recipe Kit

While i've heard some people say Dark beers are not for summertime, for me nothing pairs better with a grilled Steak than a dry Irish stout. The low final gravity of the dry stout creates a light finish on the Tongue. This is a rich stout with a creamy head. Our stout derives its rich bittersweet flavor from Dark roasted grain. This Kit is a favorite among Dark beer fans. We would like to Thank Mr. Guinness for the popularity of this beer style.
