Steamer Glide Stout™

Diamond Knot's "Steamer Glide Stout" ™ is an Irish style stout made popular by Guinness and Beamish.  Our traditional style stout is rich in roasted malt flavor, with that great creamy, nitrogen poured head.  It is brewed in the traditional stout methods with "true-to-style" ingredients.
 
The Stout features:

• 2-Row Gambrinus Malt
• Flaked Barley
• Black Malt
• Galena bittering hops
• London ale strain yeast

Many Northwest stouts, such as Grant's Imperial Stout, are big beers with a high gravity reaching a barleywine like characteristic.  Other stouts use oatmeal, such as Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout, as an ingredient to replace Flaked Barley, an adjunct for achieving good head retention. There are some who argue whether the oatmeal actually adds a significant flavor profile, or is just a gimmick.
 
Diamond Knot's Steamer Glide Stout ™ is a traditional Irish Style Stout that is produced with the sole intention of being dispensed using a nitrogen creamer head for that rich head and dark roasted flavor.
 

Why not!  Diamond Knot Brewery is named after a freighter that sank off the coast of Port Angeles back in 1948.  Since Diamond Knot Brewery is located in Mukilteo, we thought we should name a beer after a vessel that's a little closer.  A Steamer Ship named "Glide" is reported to be at the bottom of Possession Sound between Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington.  It was reported sunk back in the year 1902.  I'm sure the crew wishes they were on shore asking for a pint of that Stout, now known as Steamer Glide.
