Apr 18, 2008 Black with little to no head. Subtle yeasty malt aroma. Some fruitiness coupled with a grainy dryness. A bit thin and flat, really. Disappointed in this one.

Appearance: black, dense tan nitro head, solid lace,
Aroma: dry roasted malt aroma with sweet fruity esters,
Body: creamy body,
Flavor: sweet fruity flavor is well balanced with the roasted malt making it neither prodominantly fruity nor roasted, touch of dark chocolate, light fruity tartness adds even more complexity,
Overall: mostly the dry Irish stout but the Belgian esters add the needed balancing sweetness and a really nice fruity character,
