Nitro-keg at the brewery. Nice, slightly sweet roasted aroma, muted by the nitrogen. Predictably its flavour profile is very similar to the three big Irish dry stouts, only its a bit sweeter and the roasted flavours, more coffee than chocolate, are a little more pronounced. Also it has a slightly fuller body. Pretty nice, definitely beats its competition.

Sep 27, 2007 Cask, Burton Fest 07. Almost black with no head. Aromas are light earthy roast malts with chocolate and mellow berries. Not quite roasty enough to be coffee. Quite soft in character. Flavours are soft roast malts with earthy notes. Light berries and bubblegum. Some chocolate malts. Dry on the finish. OK.

Aug 29, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Beige head that was the darkest of any of the dry stout heads that I have encountered. Very, very dark brown colour. Coffee aroma. Hell of roasty and hell of matly as well. A little bit bitter. Coffee and chocolate tastes were very prevalent.

Jul 14, 2006 Franciscan Well 17/05/06. Good deep black body with a well kept light tan head. Smoke (cigarettes) on the nose which carries through to the taste, soy sauce, just a little harsh. Light to medium body.
