Commercial Description:
Creamy, robust, Irish style dry stout, full of flavors from deep-roasted barley malts. The slight hint of chocolate is born of the meticulous marriage of malts and hops. Originating in Ireland, and now brewed here in Texas, this is a beer for those who desire a big taste.

Draft - Black, tan creamy lasting head. Very nice nose of roasted vanilla bean, chocolate, and mild coffee. Flavor was deeply roasted chocolate tones, touches of vanilla and coffee, with a light citric hop tone late. Light to medium bodied, pillow soft carbonation, semi-bittersweet finish. Nice stuff...

Draught at Blue Star Brewing Company, San Antonio, Texas.
Tall and foamy long lasting light brown head on a black body - beautiful! Bittersweet aroma with coffee and roasted malt. Nice roasted tone in the flavor with coffee and citrus notes. Little thin but tasty and easy drinkable!

Draught at the brewpub
Black color; thin creamy head. Light roasted malt aroma. Very smooth and milky texture, good roasted malt flavor, with the correct bitterness; refreshing, for a Stout. Interesting.

Nice black color with small tan head that lingers. Nice lace. Great roast malt/toffee flavors with just enough hops to balance. Not sweet. Its a bit on the thin side (perhaps to better suit the Texas heat?) but otherwise an excellent stout.

ON tap at the brewpub; looked the part perfectly. Nice creamy head. Aroma was a bit roasted with some cocoa and vanilla. Flavor was good, cocoa and roasted malt; great mouthfeel. Good beer.

Draft at brewpub 8/28/08-Pours black with a nice tight tan head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Taste of the same with some chocolate thrown in. This medium bodied brew was a bit watered down and weak for a stout.

I'm told their recipe changed. Incredible body and head. But it has a watery texture and is too thin. Smoky malt. An oxymoron of a beer.
