Linc (736) - Sydney, - AUG 21, 2002
Mild yet appetising chocolate/toffee/charcoal aroma. Same flavours that, likewise, have little strength, nonetheless enjoyable. Despite it’s mildness, retains a decent palate, certainly easy to drink this in copious quantities.

TBone (9414) - 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 (3473) - 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 (1329) - Blue Mountains, 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 (1848) - 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 (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 18, 2002
Bottled. Black as coal. Licorice aroma. Very dry with some oatmeal flavour. Near thin with medium bitterness.

SilkTork (4737) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - SEP 22, 2002
I found this to be a soft Irish stout, not unpleasant, just gentle and a bit unremarkable.

motelpogo (5047) - Plzen, CZECH REPUBLIC - NOV 15, 2001
nice creeping bitterness and cigar smoke but not enough guts to really lift your spirits on a wet winter’s night

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 11, 2001
Actually pretty tasty, strong burnt coffee flavours, and nicely bitter and dry on the finish.

eczematic (1297) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - NOV 8, 2001
The weakest stout I’ve had at 4.3%, but one of the better ones. Understated as you might expect, with not much bitterness, but good dry tarry charcoal going on. tastes like yer eating the rocks in between the sleepers on a railway. not that i would advise this to anyone. trains are big and dangerous and can sneak up on you when you’re not paying attention.
