Draught at Tir Na Nog in Downtown Raleigh. Pours black with a medium creamy tan head, good retention and lacing. Aroma is cream, chocolate, coffee, and general roasted malt. Flavor is similar, with a bittersweet finish. Very tasty beer.

May 24, 2008 From draught sample at French Broad. Smoky coffee, chocolate, and wood. Bit of vanilla and light grassy hops and ... sesame oil? Odd aroma for Irish stout but nice. dark black and oily with thin tan head. Heavy body with smooth carbonation. Starts with a bit of soy sauce and smoke, molasses, chocolate, coffee, and rich malty mash. Tangy sour character with a bit of hop bitterness. Finishes smooth with chocolate and molasses. Nice stout.

Apr 29, 2008 pours a black with thin tan head. initial creamy milky mouthfeel. good sessionable quality to a dark stout. Dry finish behind the milky body, good grab, and good stuff.

Apr 28, 2008 Black, thin tan head. Smells coffee and chocolate, but more coffee than chocolate. Flavor is also coffee and burnttoast - lots of roasty notes. Dry, crisp finish. Nice session stout! WBF Raleigh.
