Aug 6, 2007 330mL bottle. Pours a jet black (or dark enough that I can’t see through it) with a thick tan head. Aroma is molasses/syrup, coffee, maybe something else I can’t identify (edit: has to be some kind of dried fruit). Full bodied, lots of roasty, toasty, biscuit flavors, with a little puckering bitterness. Lots of coffee. Oaky? Definitely some chocolate. Not a session beer, but very interesting.

Aug 2, 2007 This is now available more and more around in Ireland-at a relatively affordable price too so that is nice. Poured a jet black from a 330mL bottle with a large creamy tan thick head.
Smells of coffee and molasses and syrup-your tastbebuds already feel a bit heavy when your nose is working.
Tastes of a great stout-more fullness than your average draft stout. Coffee and malty and a bit sweet at the end too-maybe even a bit nutty and chocolaty too. This is definitely a full stout, and I feel like I can detect a bit of the alcohol so I know that it is strong.
I would like to drink more than one of these in a session, but I dont think that I really could handle too many. It is a great beer to enjoy though and I am glad that they are more available to me everyday now!

Jun 26, 2007 Bottle from Enniskillen fresh from Cork, Ireland yesterday! Nose of yeast, molasses, caramel, and a hint of butteriness; Very dark brown with a medium beige head; flavor of hop bitterness, coffee, chocolate, with a buttery note. Enniskillen rated it a tenth higher, probably because he consumed his in Ireland, not California!
