Furthermore Three Feet Deep
This is our rendition of a Dry Irish Stout, circa 1890. Deep roasted malt is what makes a stout a stout, and years ago the fire of the kiln would have added its distinct smoky flavor during the roasting process. Three Feet Deep rekindles that lost flavor with a small addition of peat smoked malt. At 14.4° Plato, this is not a heavy beer, but you wouldn’t know it as the round and earthy quality of peat fills your senses. Our stout is a return to County Cork and the warmth of the Irish hearth.

On tap at the Old Fashioned in Madison, WI., and dispensed to a shaker a little on the cold side, with an opaque, black/brown color, cream & bubbles, brownish tan head foam, and impressive, curtainy lacing. The aroma was roasty, some woodiness and char, maybe a little creamy flake, and earthy, barnyard scent. The flavor was similar, and contributed a lingering, medium hop bitterness, and an additional leathery character. The body was medium+, and the finale was bitter and dry. Interesting recipe, but for me, it was a little difficult to finish.
Nice, sweeping smoke and dark cocoa. Fairly dry finish. Worth getting if see on tap.
Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is smoke, roast and dark chocolate. Taste is sweet with a drying finish. Very solid, easy to drink.
From a bottle poured a brown color with a good amount of head. Smokey malty flavor with a lingering finish.
Bottle. Deep, dark brown in color with a small khaki head. Aroma has chocolate, slight peat, cream, slight caramel. Pretty nice. Peat is much more prominent in the taste. Upon first sip it is the strongest flavor. Bitter chocolate, roasted coffee, cream all present in the flavor. Fairly thin, though.
Pours a dark reddish-brown color with lacy mocha-colored head. It has a pleasant roasty aroma with lingering notes of smoked peat. Light to medium body with a distinct dryness on the finish. The taste is sweet with a slight bitterness on the finish. Flavors of peat, smoked malt, caramel and dash of hops. Very sessionable stout. I’m sure it would be great on nitro.
Dark brown with a tannish head. Smoky aroma. Very smoky flavor with roasty malt underneath. Deep and flavorful with a light finish. The low alcohol makes this very drinkable as well.
Thanks Tomtheg for the hookup. Smoke and other stouty flavors. Not good, not worthy of my cash that’s for sure.
Thanks to the kind soul at the last Tampa crew tasting that opened this one. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Nose is roast, peat, smoke, earth, and unsweet chocolate. Flavor is similar with peat, roasted malt, and earth with smoke throughout. Medium in body and peat all over.
Bottle into a pint glass. This was my first time trying out a stout-rausch and I really enjoyed the combination of flavors. The smokiness and the stout coffee tastes complimented each other nicely.
Pours a dark brown which let’s a tiny amount of light through. The nose detects the peated smoke smell which is quite pleasant.
Bottle pours deep brown/black with a tan head. Aroma shows roasted malt, peat, chocolate, and smoke. Flavor shows the same with additional coffee and indiscriminate dark fruit. Overall body is moderate to full, dry, and finishes with a roasted/smoked bitterness.
Pours an opaque black with a crown of thick creamy brown foam. Nose is of malt with a hint of smoke. Very creamy on the palate, strong taste of smoked peat, dark roasted malt carmel and pepper assault the taste buds. This beer is packed with flavor. Stands alone as a banquet itself or can be paired with bbq ribs, pulled pork sandwiches or ribeyes or burgers off the grill.
Bottle thanks to Beerman6686. Pours black. Tan head. Nose/taste of peat, smoked black malt, chocolate and light BBQ. Medium body. Smoked BBQ finish.
Pours dark brown. Roast malt and light smokiness in the nose. Nice round roast flavor that lingers slightly. Barely a hint of smoked malt in the background. Very even carbonation. No offending roast aspects. Just a simple, good stout.
Not the world’s greatest Stout. It’s a very solid taste, and a beer that you could easily drink one after another after another after...
Bottle courtesy of BeerFMAndy. Served in a Hill Farmstead wine glass.
Pour brings forward a beer that is nearly black and has a thin tan head. Some spotty lacing and not so great retention, though there’s a thin collar throughout. The nose brings a bit of coffee alongside a strong base of roasted malt. The flavor is a bit more complex, adding in some dark chocolate alongside the dark, dark coffee. Roasted malt is dominant and becomes a bit too dry and bitter in the finish. Pretty solid effort; I’d have this again.

This is one of the most unique tasting stouts I have ever tested. The peat smoked malt really does it for me.
Bottle: Poured a dark black color stout with a nice brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light smoke peaty malt with roasted coffee notes. Taste is a great mix between some peat malts with notes of roasted coffee and a light touch of black chocolate. Body is about average with good carbonation. Love the light smoked peat notes on that one.
Dark cola color with minimal head that fades quickly. Has a pleasant smokey roast flavor to it.
12 oz bottle from Casanova Liquors (Hudson, WI). Pours a very dark blackish hue, some good haze, ruby bottom and some on the edges, but pretty dark overall, with a decent frothy light brown head, dies to a good layer, laces ok. Aromas are roasted malts, toast, and soda bread, some touches of coffee, a touch of smoky ash, more roasted barley, dry. Initial is medium bodied, dry and roasty up front, with good toast, bread, biscuits, soda bread, toffee, and coffee. Into the middle we get some peaty smoke, ashy and peaty, earthy smoke with some touches of toffee sweetness. Really quite dry and roasty overall, a bit heavier on the palate than I’m used to from the Dry Stout category. I like the peaty smoke, it give sa unique feel and as a Smokehead I appreciate it. Lingering on into the finish, dry roast, peaty smoke, wood, ash, and touches of sweetness peeking through. If anything it loses itself a bit in it’s identity, but the uniqueness of a peaty smoke push towards dominance is quite pleasant, albeit a bit big on the palate. I liked this, I wouldn’t drink it all the time but it certainly was unique. Aromas was lacking, appearance was good, flavors were very nice, and it might have been a touch too dry, but that’s just me nitpicking.
12 oz bottle from Sonoma WI....pours black with decent head and nice lacing...aroma is dominated by the peat / smoky nose; not my cup of tea put it grows on you....nice body....taste mellows as it warms....
Very dry, smoky and roasty flavor - less sweet than any stout I’ve tried before. Interesting, unique flavor. Very dark brown in color, with a huge light brown head.
Probably the best irish dry stout i have had, and that isn’t saying much. IT is light with a hint of roastiness.

Aroma: Smells like a lot of dry stouts I’ve had in my day. Just a wee bit of bittersweet chocolate comes through to the nose. Quite pleasant, actually.
Appearance: For all intents and purposes, this beer is is an opaque black. It pours with a finger’s width of khaki colored head.
Taste: Not nearly as bitter as I was expecting. In fact, this stout is quite sweet for a "dry" stout (a very strong chocolate taste to it, slightly lighter caramel notes). Got the lovely malty backdrop I like in a stout of this style, but the unusual sweetness is the star attraction.
Palate: Pretty smooth on the palate. Has a moderately thick body to it. None of the flavors linger too long in the mouth.
Overall: An excellent offering from Furthermore. The sweetness of the beer was a bit surprising, but very welcome. One of the best dry stouts I’ve ever had.
Tasting at Paul’s house. The aroma is smoke, chocolate, brown sugar, very nice. The appearances is a slighly translucent brown, light btan head. The flavor is smoke, chocolate, roast - enjoyable, and not overly dry. The finish is smoke again, meaty, pine, resin. Medium/thick in body, particularly for an Irish stout. Enjoyable.
Draft. Pours dark blackish brown with off-tan head. Nose is dark malt, chocoff. Tastes black malty, with cacao, coffee, slight rauchy notes, backup hops, and a decent complexity.
Pours a dark black with foamy light brown head. Aroma is sweet baking chocolate with slight lactic notes. Flavor nice and dry yet somewhat creamy. Not too bitter or overpowering, yet still has depth. Dry roasty finish. Overall, dangerously drinkable.
Pours black with a tan soapy head. Aroma of smoke, plums, and wood. Smoky flavor with peat, and plum sweetness. Dry as advertised. Nice beer.
Pours a dark brown with small tan head. Smell of smoked peat is strong. Taste is subtle but gets more smoky as you get into it. Nice smooth beer.
