jimthechap (122), Christchurch, New Zealand Jul 1, 2008 I may be slightly impartial to this beer than most for several reasons.
1. I have always been an advocate of Stouts. Particularly dry Isish ones. It was a moment of joy when the brewer at this place decided to do one after a bit of harassment. Thank you Sean.
2. I have drunk more of this beer than anyone else. I love the caramalt and chocolate malt flavours from this luscious heady brew. I hope that it stays as one of the favourite seasonal beers brewed at this place. It would be a shame to see it go.

Milk chocolate and mild coco drives the flavours but the intensity did fall away in the back palate to leave a mild burnt note. bozoNZ (360), Christchurch, New Zealand Aug 27, 2007 Pint @ brewpub. Lovely inky black, slight red hues against the light. Looks divine in the glass with a beautiful creamy head. Smooth mellow flavours - touches of everything in balance. Roast malts, chocolate, coffee, cream you name it. Supreme finishing dryness. Fine stuff
