Sampled from the Draught Can. Pretty good, I liked it. I was looking for Guinness so I could make a Black & Tan and didn’t see it so I tried this (of course sampled it on it’s own first). Black colored, nice thick head and pretty good flavor as well. Coffee and roasted malt flavor, nice balance and very smooth. I was surprised how smooth this was for a stout. Had a little bit of a thin mouthfeel but nothing major.

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.

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.
