COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This stout has a robust flavour with a ful bodied and smooth mouth feel. The roast flavours lead to a dry espresso like finish. A generous addition of fuggles hops lead to a tart bitterness which mingles with the roast espresso flavours on the tongue.

Nice dark pour with tan head that disappears relatively fast. Some roasted chocolate aroma. Flavor is toasted coffee that lingers on the tongue. Silky and thick mouthfeel with slight bitter coffee that lingers. Decent stout overall.

ciaranc (388) - Dublin, IRELAND - DEC 3, 2012
Pint, nitro @ L Mullingan Grocer. Looks fantastic, black with a creamy white head. Not much aroma through the nitro head. Burnt roast malt in the flavour. Creamy mouthfeel, flay carbonation. More roastiness in the finish. Nice, will rate again when i can find it off the nitro.

Had this beer when it was called the "irish stout." Very dry, dark in appearance, chocolaty sweetness with some dirt thrown in for good measure.

solidfunk (1919) - Ontario, CANADA - NOV 17, 2012
Smells musky and roasty. Pours black with creamy head. Aroma of malt and some bitter hops. A little dark chocolate bitterness as well. Slight touch of sourness at the end. Nice on palate. Medium to low carbonation. Bottle.

Fatehunter (795) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - OCT 26, 2012
On tap with a perfect pour. Solid tan finger of head with a black body. Smell of toasted and roasted malt. Amazing. Taste of dry burnt malt with mild bitterness. Great balance. Soft and crisp texture. Low carbonation. On-tap can’t go wrong with this one.

kingstoni (787) - FINLAND - OCT 22, 2012
Bottle. Dark brown with a foamy brown head. Aroma of coffee, toffee, nuts and office glue. Sugary taste of chocolate, cacao, and roasted malt. Dry, bitter, roasted finish.
