Short lived head but with good buttery herbal aroma on the nose, deep amber colour with solid body on the palate, lighter than you think at 7% so it’s perilously easy to drink. Beautiful butter malt flavour well balanced by a peppery bitter finish, definately the best Irish ale i’ve ever had!

Aug 6, 2008 [1380-20080523] Tap. Aroma is faint grains and a slash of alcohol. Clear, amber brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Super boozy sweet malt flavour has heavy grains. Medium body. Interesting but boozy.

Jun 22, 2008 tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours copper with a thin head. It smells and tastes of sweet caramel malt and some light hops. There’s a light to medium body and while uncomplicated, it’s decent.

Jun 1, 2008 Flat body, orangey amber with slight carb and a tiny head. Strong toffee malts in nose, overwhelming notes of amaretto. Very nutty and burnt flavours. Smooth with just enough carbonation to move it along. Nice alcohol bitterness in the finish. Wish I could get it regularly!
