troopie (516), USA Sep 4, 2007 Nitro Tin. Pasteurised hoppy aroma. Poured black with tan head, much lacing. Malty flavour with a little bitterness. Lasting espresso bitterseeet finish. This as a workaday stout, light enough to be a session stout.
Mitch_Wayne (113), Kokkola, Finland Oct 11, 2008 Nicely bitter and suprisingly tasty. Everything is pretty low key but after drinking half a pint you are so going to finnish the whole thing and perhaps get more afterwards. Unlike Guinness this has some definitive roasty coffee notes that I associate with the word stout. rustbucket0873 (100), Krikville, New York, USA 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. mcjay (88), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA 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. Rynoplasty (254), Louisville, Kentucky, USA 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. Nik925 (156), California, USA 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.
