Weak nose, nice creamy head, nice combination of coffee and bitter, however just a little too much bitter for me. I would have to go for Beamish Stout over Guinness.

Oct 5, 2008 Dark color with a creamy tan had that hangs around. Slightly roasted aroma with a smooth but bitter taste. Not Guinness, not even Murphy’s but still not bad.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours near opaque with a big creamy head. Aroma is of roasted barley. Taste is also of roasted malts. A good dry stout, much better than Guinness anyway and usually cheaper.

Sep 20, 2008 Boring, thin, below average overall. Needs more going on, not enough flavor or presence to find much specific fault. Amazingly thin for such a dark beer, even the N02 carb was off.

Sep 3, 2008 14.9 oz widget can. As with most of these gimmick cans, it makes for a pretty glass of beer - dark brown with a tight, creamy tan head. Roasty, burnt malt nose, hints of coffee. Ooofff... not so good flavor, like charcoal with a bit of lighter fluid, burnt and smoky. Body is the light side of medium, a bit too thin. Meh.

Sep 2, 2008 7 oz draught sample. Dark brown pour with medium frothy head. Aroma of coffee, burnt toast and nuts. Mild coffee taste with a bitter dry finish. Slightly watery, but not too shabby.
