Dark brown/black with a nice head. Aroma is roasted and burnt malts, a touch of smoke. The flavor has nice roasty notes, chocolate, burnt and smokey notes. Creamy, light sessionable. A nice stout.

Draft pint at the brewpub. Classic Irish appearance, dark, creamy white top that stays put. Very nice -- light body, but really creamy, lightly coffeed, mildly roasty. Excellent!! (#3420, 4/12/2008)

Draft at brewpub. Black with a very nice, frothy creamy head. Notes of roasted chocolate. Almost milky on the tongue at first. despite this, its a pretty light stout. I would love to see them turn this into an Impy Stout.

On tap at the brewpub in Sacramento. Came in the glass very black with a tan head. Left good lacing. Nose of roasted malts with coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy. Flavor is a bit light and there is a dry finish. Decent stout.

Draft at the brewpub. Dark toasted aroma. Opaque black color with a creamy nitro style tan head. Medium body with smooth nitrogenation. Dark toasted flavor of malt, very light sweeetness, and not too heavy on hop. A hint of chocolate off and on. The finish is rather dry, and the remnants of burnt toast persist. Something of a cross between "old" & "new" Guinness. Nice aftertaste.
