Wellington Brewery's Shadowy Pact Irish Dry Stout comes in incredibly eye-catching 355mL
bottles with a cool yellow and black colour scheme and an awesome
Illuminati theme. Low-octane like a classic Irish-style stout, SP
contains just 4.4% alcohol. It’s an oil black brew with amber highlights
and a durable cover of creamy head. With a rich and enticing scent, SP
has notes of roasted malt, brown sugar, molasses, and chocolate. Its
flavour is a bit less robust than the nose, though it contains many of
the same elements: roasted malt, brown sugar, and molasses, supplemented
with some toffee, too. The finish is dry and quick, while the mouthfeel
is a bit on the thin side.
Shadowy Pact’s
execution didn’t quite live up to its awesome packaging and excellent
aroma, but it was still a pretty good little ale. I’d have liked a
richer flavour and a bit more body though.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
