This poured dark mahogany with a big vanilla ice cream head. Aroma is bearley there, slight roasty. The flavor is mellow. Sweet chocolate and burnt roasty barley duke it out with the chocolate slightly winning. The flavor is notably sweeter than Guinness. Finishes on the dry side, with a semi-bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is nice, as is the drinkability. A little smoother than Guinness.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a dark color black-brown. The head is is really creamy. The smell is of roasted malts. The flavor is alittle bitter and of roasted malts. This is a fairly good brew. Would recommend.

Oct 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 8, 2008Dark color with a creamy tan head 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.
