Commercial Description:
This is a cask conditioned "slow-pour" stout, which is very easy drinking and has a velvety texture, mild bitterness, and rich full roasty malt character. 4.9% alcohol, by volume (St. Patrick's Day into April).

Had on cask at the brewpub, served at about room temperature. The beer had a big spicy and roasty aroma of chocolate, coffee, and caramel malt, a bit of grainy and earthy hops too. It was a dark brown-black color with a creamy, dark tan head that had fairly good retention and size. The flavor was pretty sweet, slightly spicy and lively, and the chocolate and coffee tastes were detectable. It had a very creamy palate, and was very wet and full, with a lower amount of carbonation. It’s a good beer, I think if it was chilled a little more it would help with this beer, but it did have a lot of character.

Cask at the brewpub. Actually this is very comparable to their oatmeal stout, I guess they do stout well... lots of roast, some liquid smoke in the nose, some charred grains as it warms... flavor is quite good, palate is slick and moderately carbed, doesnt exactly feel like cask... full of roast and smoke and charred grains, but without the oatmeal and milk flavors of their other stout. Solid enough.

Cask, at the brewpub, July 2006. Deep tawny brown colour - not opaque. Fairly dry and quite roasty. A little powdery chocolate. Mouthfeel is fairly light. Rather English in style although that could have been more down to the cask dispense. Solid but unspectacular.

Cask at the brewpub, July 2006. A mahagony colored beer with a thin brown head - too light in color for a stout. The aroma is sweet malty with light roasted notes - I find it too vaguely roasted for a stout. The flavor is sweet with light notes of chocolate, leading to a roasted dry end. The mouthfeel is very smooth, but the body is thin. I’ve had many much better cask stouts in England and Denmark.

(cask) Beautiful on the pour with creamy beige head settling atop a dark red-black body. Aroma is roasty chococoffee. Taste is mild chococoffee, some earthy. Wonderfully smooth light-medium body, really drinkable.
