Tap.Black with creamy white head. Nice combination of roasted, toasted and resinous hoppiness, mingling with no edges and without being exaggerated. Dry and bitter end.

Jul 14, 2008 11.2oz Bottle: Pours dark brown, just about black, w/ a nice two finger brown head that leaves some nice lacing behind. Aroma is of deep roasted malts, a little smoky & some coffee. Flavor is of heavy roasted malts. Just a hint of metal & very dry. Nice coffee flavor left behind. Nice beer, would pick this one up again.

Aroma was that of roasted stout, not too strong. Pour was beautifully dark but not thick with minimal settling or residue. Medium tan head that settled nicely. Flavor was of malt and roast very slightly sweet and it finished smoother than many Irish stouts.
I’m surprised to be the first to rate this fine beer. I found it very drinkable and look forward to having it again.

Jul 10, 2008 I got this from my dad, thanks! Very smooth and malty, a very good quality stout, much better than it’s common counterpart, Guinness.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle, pours a very dark (nearly black) brown, with a bubbly brown head. A strong roasted aroma, smoky malt with a touch of coffee. A good smooth palate, the malt again carries some smokiness with a touch of roasted coffee. The finish is a touch disappointing, becoming more thin than dry, along with a touch of metallicness. But there is a lingering hop bitterness left in the mouth that leaves me wanting more. A pretty nice stout.
