Draft. A black beer with a brown shin under a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt with a light note of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of wood, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light. Boring stout.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown to black with a small creamy and tan head. Classic nitro pour. Hardroasted and dark malty aroma, light coffeeish. Creamy mouthfeel. Quite sweet and toffee roasted caramel malt towards dark breadish. A bit thin in the mouthfeel for the finish but with a nice lingering roasted malt flavour and light bitterness coming through.

On tap. Opaque dark brown with an orange hue and a creamy, beige nitro head. Discreet aroma of hard roasted malt and licorice. Rather light in body with a low carbonation - due to the nitro - and hence a soft mouthfeel. Notes of licorice and hard roasted malt, but also a light fusty edge. Has a light malt bitterness in the finish. 100709

UPDATED: APR 5, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Black with creamy nitrogen fuelled head. Dry and very roasty. Notes of of coffee and licorice. Very Irish in style, but with more life than in Guinness & Co these days. Medium bitterness.

Very dark brown colour. Lightly roasty, chocolatey aroma. Light, mainly chocolatey character with just a light hint of roast. Smooth and creamy. The malts legitimize the nitrogen. Well-balanced.

Draft. Brown/black beer with a creamy beige nitro head. Light roast/coffee aroma. Light roast/toffee/coffee/caramel malt flavor that lingers. Just a bit of bitterness. Medium bodied. The flavor is just a bit too light for me.

Draft at the Brewery. Nearly black in color with a tan nitro head. Aroma of roast and coffee. Flavor more of the same, a little sweeter than Guinness but not very dissimilar. Dry finish.

Roasted coffee smells and an opaque brown/black color. The roasted malts give a nice tar or tabacco-like taste. A little thinner than I’d have liked, but over really nice. I liked the head from the nitro tap too. Great place with great fries.

Tap. Black with a creamy tan head. Nitro pushed. A roasted coffee aroma with a smooth creamy palate. A little thin, but what can you expect from a 4% abv stout.
