I’ve been searching all over for this beer. I had it in Colo Spgs and England....haven’t seen it anywhere else. Creamy and smooth, not too heavy, I remember it having a red tint when poured in a glass. Tried Killians after that..yuck.

Tutto molto nella norma, dal colore all’aroma e al gusto finale. Però se sei in pub irlandese o inglese te la bevi volentieri...

Draught@O’malleys, Vaasa (in autumn 2004, one of my first "ratings" from the times we with some friends in summer 2004 decided to have fun and start reviewing beers, little did I know TBone would get me hooked to this site in 2005...). Black colour, white to dirty yellow head. Aroma is roasted, some chocolate, mild spices as well,. Flavour is roasted malts along with a rather bitter and toasted finish. I’d love to get my hands on this one again, as it used to be one of my favourites when I began drinking beer.

stantheman (85) - British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 2, 2010
UPDATED: JAN 3, 2010 On tap at The Old Admiral Pub in Burnaby, B.C. , poured into one of those dimpled mugs. I’m not really familiar with the "dry stout" classification, but this seems to be a lighter tasting stout. Very enjoyable though. I’m not sure why the ratings here are so low. I think this is a new product with few raters. Hopefully the ratings will improve over time, as more people try it. I’m looking forward to my next glass!

faroeviking (8805) - HAITI - JAN 30, 2007
UPDATED: FEB 19, 2007 Draught at a local pub in (London)Derry, Northern Ireland. Deep dark-brown with a nice creamy big mostly lasting off-white head leaving a nice lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma of well roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour is smooth and creamy, roasty maltiness, dark chocolate, bit of coffee, some sweetness. Moderate bitter roasty finish. Very tasty stout.

absolutely shocking. My advice is to watch it in the glass and leave it at that. No real taste.

You fools have been drinking way too much. This is one of the best beers ever. You can only drink it from a pint glass. Watching the frothy build up around the sides of the glass after a clean pour is gratifying in its own right. This stuff goes down soooo smooth, and tastes great. Remember only drink this stuff out of a proper pint glass. I’m disappointed this stuff isn’t available in the US anymore.
