Day 66, 3.7.11., Moylans - Dragoon's Irish dry stout

Moylan's is a brew pub over there in Novato.  We stopped by after my brother's art opening, which is also going on over there in Novato.  The brewpub is in a sort of stripmall area, next to a Carl's Jr.  It's better on the inside.
I tried a pint of their Dragoon's Irish Dry Stout.  It's a dark black, opaque beer with a light amount of beige head.  On the nose, there are roasty buttery notes.  Sweet wine and sherry aromas are in there too.
The palate has some interesting chalky minerality as well as more roasty dark malt flavor.  And just as the name promises, the beer finishes delightfully dry.
The one rather negative part of this beer is it's thin body.  The mouthfeel is not much bigger than a pale ale or even pilsner.
Pretty good.
8% ABV
6 out of 10
