PhillyBeer2112 (1894), Orange Park, Florida, USA Mar 31, 2001 Very much like Guinness, but a bit sweeter, fuller flavor and generally better all around. Its not nitro’d, which really helps it have a kick. karl (160), Glendale, New York, USA Apr 15, 2001 Dogbrick (2427), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 8, 2006 On draught at Winking Lizard in Columbus. Pours flat black with a medium and foamy beige head that disappears pretty fast. Thin sheets of lacing. Aroma of malt, coffee and some chocolate. Fairly rich mouthfeel and nicely creamy, with coffee, bittersweet chocolate and hops flavor. A bit of roasted malt in the background as well. The finish is smooth and creamy and has a lingering coffee bitterness. Examples like this or GLBC Wolfhound remind me that this style doesn’t have to be boring. Well done. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA Mar 19, 2003 A very Guinness-like stout, but creamier, and without the sour finish. This was a good-looking, frothy-headed beer, with subtle flavors of chocolate and coffee. Oakes (7047), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 4, 2001 More Irish than hurling.
