Oct 10, 2004 (draft) Nitro creamy tan head atop brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee, roasty, hint of smoke. Taste is medium sweet, coffee, some chocolate, roasty. Light-medium body, fairly clean finish, though the roasty coffee lingers.

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.

Dec 23, 2004 Dense black colour, with a moderate, creamy head. Very dry, with roast and smoky malt and hints of chocolate. Quite tasty. Smooth palate, but there’s not much body to it and the overall feel is a bit weedy. I’d rather got used to stouts being a bit bigger than this in the US. On tap at the Dominion brewery.

Sep 8, 2005 On draft at the brewpub, 9/1/05: Creamy ... nice irish look ... smoky, sugary, lightly tinged with a bitter chocolate sense. Bit thin.

Nov 21, 2004 Poured a chestnut brown color with a tight, creamy, khaki head and left light lacing on the glass. Butterscotch and roasted aroma. Watery and dry, very light chocolate and mild roast as well. Disappointing mouthfeel.

Dec 3, 2004 Had this on draft at Dominion on 11/21/04. Black body with a small dense tan head. Is this on nitro? Nose is roasted malt, light coffee and a pleasant underlying sweetness. Taste is roasty, sweet, light coffee, and some bittersweet chocolate. Body is smooth and creamy with a light oily feel. Hint of bitterness. Finishes with more roasted malt coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Nice beer!

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.

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.
