May 2, 2006 What can one say about a nitro’ed Guinness clone except that it tastes alot like nitro’ed Guinness? Perhaps it’s got a little more coffee in the nose. That’s about it. An average dry stout. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Finn’s Brewery, Libertyville, IL<font size=-1>

Mar 9, 2006 On tap at Goose Island Stoutfest. Poured a beautiful black with a solid, long-lasting creamy caramel head. Typical dry stout feel to the aroma (nitroey feel with roasty chocolate and toffee). Dry, chalky chocolate and lighter roast coffee in the flavor with hints of oak. Rather light feel on the palate with a dry finish. Nothing exciting, but an easy-drinkin’, smooth dry stout. ’tis the season.

Feb 21, 2005 Little to no smell. Thin, mellow, watery. Coffee nodes and not much else. Lacks carbonation. Strives to be an Irish Stout but is more reminiscent of an oatmeal stout. Either way you look at it, this attempt doesn’t come close.

Sep 25, 2008 Nearly black with a tight tan head. Aroma is blackened malts with a hint of chocolate. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Decent taste is roasty dry black malts with a dusting of cocoa powder. Not too bad.

Jan 15, 2008 Draft Sampler, as "Hackett." I get a big coffee smell as soon as the glass gets near me. Appearance is black, with a thin layer of tan foam after sitting around whilst I finish the lighter beers in the sampler tray (ain’t that always the way with a brewpub’s stout?). Taste brings up dark roasted malt, with more coffee, and cocoa nibs. Roast malt taste is solid, but it’s dry character adds nicely to the package. I liked it, what can I say?

Jul 24, 2005 Very dark clear brown body, fine tan head. Black patent malt malt aroma with a dry, dark chocolate essence. The palate is a bit thin but at least the flavor packs a good amount of sweet chocolate, coffee acidity, and a touch of raspberry tartness.

Dec 10, 2006 Nitro. Compared to their Stout this is sad. My notes liked the nitro head-effect back in the day but I have since had the Imperial stout on nitro from this place and mark it down for that. Still for a Guinness clone it is a more than accepteable style of that.
