Dirtoir Black Lager and the brews to follow are all GYO Certified, First Growth, Appelation products made with hops and malt from our Department of Agriculture's Hopyard and Barley Bench.

How does it really taste?  I know that I cannot call it a stout, because stouts are a subset of ales, and this is a lager.  Having said that, it's an ok stout.
Cost: $5.99 for 22 oz.
Grade: C
Cost Adjusted Grade: C
