Aug 23, 2008 Nitro pour at the Renn Fest. Nice stout cascade with a tan head. Smooth taste with some roast, chocolate, nuttiness. Nice beer for a hot summer day, like today.

does not count  Aug 23, 2008 Known locally in Cork, where its brewed as ’the poor mans pint". Tastes abit rough on draught when compared to Guinness and not as sweet as Murphy’s, which is a good thing for a stout. An aquired taste id say. From a can id prefer it to either of the above,

Aug 21, 2008 On nitro tap at Green Dragon in Portland, OR--Poured a deep dark somewhat brown body with a thick creamy whitish head. Silky malty, mildly smoky. Mouthfeel was creamy and chalky. Quite nice. Hints of bourbon, woodsmoked peat, malt, and a slight hops tang. Very drinkable earnest brew.

Aug 18, 2008 Pint can. Pours a dark reddish brown with one finger grayish tan head and drippy lacing. Nose is roasted malt with mild chocolate and coffee. Taste is Roasty smoky malt upfront with some bitter coffee grounds in the finish. Lighter mouth feel than I expected. Not bad. I prefer Guinness to this though.
