Sammy (2969), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 15, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Above average carbonation. Odd water here is noticeable in this one throwing the taste off. Wisp of head on black opaque. About average mouthfeel. Chocolate malt in the aroma, finally aroma. Sourish but also a bit of taste, whinish, until oddness wears you down.
Ramenen (308), San Salvador, El Salvador Jun 24, 2006 Good Head with a Dark color like coffee. Really Smoky Taste, meaty with hints of coffee. erway (1001), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Jan 11, 2006 Well this has obviously improved a lot. Arrived black as night with a creamy nitro brown head. Aroma is roasty with milk chocolate and burnt toast. Body is med. heavy. Flavors are spot on. Lots of milky choclate and dried fruits. Best beer they had. I couldn’t have asked for a better stout, OK I could have but you know what I mean. Taktik_MTL (1843), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Sep 13, 2005 Verre de dégustation de 4 oz au restaurant. Arôme: Odeur de café et de prunes. Apparence: Couleur brune très foncée. Mince col mousseux. Moyenne des bulles. Fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café et d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût de café. (Rating #289) chronictonic (332), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2005 Rich roasted aroma - slight hints of coffee. Roasted flavor - maybe a hint of smokiness?. Finished with a strange unidentifiable flavor. I definitely don’t think it was as bad as some of the other reviews here - perhaps the Shed is improving. Overall I thought it was a rather generic Irish Dry stout - just a little weirdness from that finishing flavor.
