TBone (4566), Pori, Finland Jul 29, 2006 Bottled "Irish Stout".
Deep dark ruby, almost opaque, good creamy tan head, lace. Chocolaty, slightly roasted aroma, hints of tobacco. Cold coffee and tobacco also in the flavor. Toasted malts and bitterish finish. Slightly watery, but with 4.3% it is something to expect. Jukkabro (2298), Tampere, Finland May 15, 2006 Black colored, big beige head. Strong chocolate and roastiness in aroma, sweetness comes up mildly with toffee. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is strongly roasted with mild chocolate, aftertaste lasts with dryness, chocolate and roastiness. Aroma is excellent! highlandlad (1164), Sydney, Australia Feb 2, 2005 Moderate Irish stout. Poured the expected treacle colour with a frothy tan head. Some spice in a nose that’s dominated by licorice. Medium-bodied - a little light for an Irish-made stout. Malty sweetness and a short, abrupt bitter finish. Typical stout flavours - toasted malt, licorice and coffee. Let down by the lack of body and that sudden finish. (Bottle) kwoeltje (1169), Manchester, Missouri, USA Jul 22, 2003 Bottled. Deep black with a very deep tan head. Roast malt aroma. Flavor strong with roast coffee. Body a bit thin. An OK Irish stout. omhper (9956), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 18, 2002 Bottled. Black as coal. Licorice aroma. Very dry with some oatmeal flavour. Near thin with medium bitterness.
