Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black color with a medium, off-white head. Aromas of chocolate, malts, and a hint of caramel. Texture is almost strange as it is like water, very weird for a stout. Flavor is also light and would prefer more from a stout. Better beers exist.

Jan 23, 2009 Dark read pour with an off white head. Malty aroma. Flavor is malty and roasted with some coffee. Metallic finish. Medium body.

Jan 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a beautiful deep amber with a nice foamy head of slightly off-white. An aroma of hoppy biscuits and rose eminate from the glass, with touches of sugar in the background. Flavor is a massive letdown, with coppery bread notes and expired hops. Watery mouthfeel that leaves spiky carbonation bubbles on the tongue as it travels to the throat. I’m sure this is an old bottle.

Clear medium red amber color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, nutty, light cardboard notes. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [300908]

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle, Bull and Castle, Dublin. Erm, red probably. Sweet malty nose with hints of molasses, nuts, a squeeze of old sock. Notes mention Highgate. Thick with malt and sugar at the modest ABV. Raisins and lace. Wheat-like slickness, hops to balance. Toffee and marzipan, but integrated. Very tasty, real-ish red ale.

Dec 31, 2008 Wow, what a quality brew. About as dark and sexy in the glass as a red can get. Nice head. Taste is well-balanced and rich; perhaps what Killians would taste like on tap and really fresh. Almost a blend of red and brown ales. Finish is intriguing. There is a smoky peat essence followed by a lingering and subtle salty bitterness. Very good. I found this for $2.99 a four pack at my local bevie, and will be buying a lot more before they run out.
