Thick head mutes most aroma but some caramel and toffee is apparent. Malty with a tendancy towards caramel in the mouth with a low hint of hops. Hop bitter in the finish but the nitroflush leaves you with a nasty aftertaste.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 16, 2003 [Nitro can] This beer has a sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, yeast, caramel, and fruit. The color is amber and it has the dense nitro-head - a beutiful head - but in my opinion cheating. The mouthfeel is extremely soft due to the nitrogen. The flavor is of Caffrey - there is something unique - though on my tastebuds not that interesting about Caffreys flavor. If I should describe it; very sweet and malty - from a weird malt blend bringing out notes of caramel, roasted bread, fruit, and yeast. The end has an OK bitterness that lingers on the tongue together with notes of the roasted malt. The body is thin. Not a favorite with me. amx83 (27), Brampton, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2003 This is an easy drinking beer which I dont mind having now and then. It has slight amount of flavour, but is a bit too watery. This definitely should be had on tap. Oh, and an excellent, lacy head. farmboy (218), Barwon Heads, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 29, 2003 Pours well and is certainly a nice treat once in a while, but I favour Boddingtons to this. Better than Kilkenny but not as good as Boddingtons. bluevegie (2217), Perth, Australia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 20, 2003 Red amber colour, little aroma, smooth creamy but very little taste. Wont be in any hurry to re-rate! Jahills (151), Cambridge (Hobart), Australia
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Oct 11, 2003 Bland, flavourless, and no kick, too thin. Nothing to rave about. Cold sort of sweet aftertaste. Is smooth and creamy, no fizz. It looks like a million bucks but certainly doesnt deliver. bfgill (120), Tasmania, Australia
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 11, 2003 Caffreys looks good, its creamy and has a dark amber colour. But it tastes like watered down motor oil, I reckon the irish should stick to what they know best - stout, leave the ales to the british. cheers
