surprisingly nice. i hate nitrobeers but lurking under the shaving foam is a reasonable quality beer, if amazingly watered down flavourwise - the malt is slightly nutty and honeyish, the hops are slightly bitter and you can obviously taste the guinness yeast which is nice and round and mellow. that said, it's pretty fuken boring.

Normal nitro head & consequent flat body. Bitter aroma & lightly roasted slightly bitter taste. Almost identical to Kilkenny except for lighter colour.

Yellow orange; head is exactly what you would expect; mild nose. Slightly more bitter then I would have expected- not terrible, but not a standout.

Copper color, little but creamy head. Opens with a malt spicy flavour and gets drier and increasingly bitter, bitter finish. Aftertaste slightly bitter and with some darker bread flavours. I’m not a Bitter expert but this one is better than average.

Medium pale amber clear with a small but lasting creamy white head. I think the widget thingo didn’t work properly because the biggest the head got was only about a cm thick - maybe that’s all it was supposed to be. Very faint plastic toilet seat and woody hops aroma. Medium thin creamy soft body. Medium mild stale metallic bitter flavour. A bit sweeter in the middle and finish. Exceedingly ordinary. How about just sticking to the stout in future guys .

Well, it was better than i though it would be, but worse than i can put up with. Zero aroma, and i literally mean zero, i gave the aroma score an extra mark, because it wasn’t offensive. Classic creamy ’Guinness-style’ creamy head. Sweet and creamy, very short on the palate, quite thin, with some bittering hops, i reckon it would be OK, if they didn’t use the nitro-widget thingy, tasted very Guinnessy.

Didn’t detect any flavor here. Nitro can gave nice head but no carbonation as is typical. Not very impressive.
