3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled (BB 07/2008)
Opaque black color, small off-white head. Aroma has dark chocolate and coffee, hints of milk. Suprisingly full-bodied for 4 % beer. Lots of dark color malts. Dark toasted coffeish flavor with ashy notes. Toasted aftertaste. If I remember correctly, Carlow O’Haras Celtic Stout was a bit similar. This is not a world class stout, but wellmade brew.
