Tonight’s beer is the Irish Channel Stout by NOLA Brewing.  This beer poured a deep dark brown to black with little head.  A coffee aroma with hints of chocolate dominate the nose.  These flavors continue on the palate, with a slight sweetness up front paired with a distinct bitterness on the backend, much like a night out in the Crescent City for a visitor.  Overall, NOLA puts together a wonderfully pleasant version of the Americanized stout.
