Reminded me of Guinness. Chocolaty aroma. Roasted malt and some coffee as well. Nice balanced flavor with toffee, roasted coffee, and a hint of chocolate. Very nice stout!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 4, 2004 Muddy brown, big sheets of white as the head settles. Very nice nose, toasty and roasty, slightly woody, with a good peat character. Nitro kills the flavor of this less than expected, it's still quite flavorful, good roasts with a burnt wood finish. Peaty and smoky, slightly scotchy. Really quite good. hopscotch (5504), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 21, 2004 Very dark ale. Pitch black with a large, creamy, khaki-colored, cascading head. Great retention and lacing.
The nose is soapy and chocolatey.
Toffee, cocoa and coffee in the flavor. Well-balanced.
Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Short, burnt, dry finish. jeffc666 (1893), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

Flavor is dry roasted malt. Medium creamy body (from the nitrogen pour). Typical for this style. chronictonic (403), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2003 Very good irish dry stout. Perfect nitro pour. Mild aroma of dark roasted malt. Flavor is typical irish stout - dry, watery, refreshing and very quaffable. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 25, 2003 Completely black color with a bone white head. Amazing contrast in appearence and the head leaves lovely lacing. Smell is dark roasted malt, pretty much similar to guiness extra stout. Medium feeling in the mouth, not too big. Flavor is big time malt accompanied by some wateriness that I did not enjoy. But don't get me wrong, this is an excellent Dry stout with very complex malt characteristics. Assuredly worth a try if you can find it. I had mine on tap at the Old Dominion Brewpub in Ashburn, VA with my good friend jgb9348. jgb9348 (2511), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 24, 2003 Pitch black in colour, frothy off-white coloured head from Nitrogen. Smells of roasted malt very prominent. Full-bodied; Very creamy mouthful. Tastes of malt, malt and more malt. Subtle aftertaste, a good deal of drying on the palate. As you drink the head leaves a VERY nice lacing around the glass...top notch. A fresh and clean stout that rivals some of the better 'Dry Stouts'...even from Ireland! I had this on draught at the Old Dominion Brewpub in Ashburn, Virginia on 23-August-2003.
