Four Horsemen Irish Stout

This is a 4.2% Irish Stout from the Four Horsemen Brewing Company of South Bend, Indiana. I picked this up in South Bend, just across the street from Notre Dame at Belmont Beverage. The label features the iconic picture of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's "Four Horsemen" on horses. This was the moniker given to their backfield by a sportswriter in 1924 when Knute Rockne was coach.

The beer pours jet black in color, with just the smallest hint of dark brown at the edge when held to the light. There is a short and thin head of light brown foam. The aroma is dark roasted malt, some coffee, light dark cacao, with a tangy Guinness-like edge. The flavors follow the aromas, coffee, dark chocolate, mocha, dark caramel, with a  tang on the end consistent with the dry Irish stout style. It is has moderate coffee-like bitterness. The only drawback is a somewhat watery mouthfeel. The best of the Four Horsemen offerings I have tried.
