| 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. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 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. argo0 (6994), Washington DC, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. jgb9348 (2515), 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. haddon90 (1039), Alexandria, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 26, 2004 On tap at the Brew Pub. Deep black color with a creamy head from the nitrogen. 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!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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! urbnhautebourg (974), Annapolis, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2003 On draft at the brewery. I respect that this brewer replicates this style so well. Still, I cannot regard it higher than the beers that inspire it. Amazing lace.
