Nitro @ County Cork... Poured near black with amber highlights and a thick, fluffy, off-white head. This was pretty much like a more flavorful Guinness. Smoked malts and chocolate flavors. Very smooth and low bitterness.

Dec 28, 2009 Can. Black pour, creamy head. Roasted malt nose, smooth creamy mouthfeel, dry roasted taste but not a lot of depth to the taste.

Dec 24, 2009 Like Murphy’s, a good Irish stout for quaffing. Typical creamy coffee chocolate notes, great mouthfeel, and thirst-quenching drinkability.

Dec 21, 2009 From a nitro can poured black with a fair amount of thick head. Nice toasted malty flavor with a quick finish.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours almost black with a two finger thick, tightly bubbled cream colored head. Nose is faint with coffee, roasted malt and light chocolate. The flavor is a bit more full with the same influences. Decent medium full mouthfeel with a subtly bitter finish.

Dec 5, 2009 Dark brown color. Tan, firm head. Bubbles that head to the bottom of your glass. Very light malts in the aroma along with light chocolate malts and some sourness. Nice flavor. Light roasted malts and a hint of chocolate but also a nice sour, dry finish. Such a smooth mouth I hardly recognize this as a stout. The finish is roasted malts, light chocolate, and just a little sourness keeps bringing me back for more.

Dec 3, 2009 Apparently, Irish stouts are supposed to be flat? It’s the widgit thing that ruins this for me. The flatness even deadens the aroma. I just drank two 15 oz cans, and I still feel like I haven’t really had a beer. There’s just something about these attempts at "genuine" Irish stout that leave me wanting.

Dec 1, 2009 Typical nitro stout looks. Falling wash of milk chocolate color settles to black with a creamy beige-white head. Chocolate, malty aroma, some roast, but nitro ruining creaminess dulls everything. Taste is creamy but empty, light chocolate, bitter finishing roastiness.
