Jun 16, 2008 The body was black with a tan colored head. The aroma was chocolate with some coffee. There was also a woody hint. The taste was woody and dry with some coffee. A little thin.

Apr 18, 2007 Sample at the brewpub: Pours opaque black with a compact dark brown head that has good retention. Constant sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee along with some chocolate and malt. Medium-bodied and dry with roasted coffee and light hops flavor, as well as a bit of dark chocolate. The finish is dry and roasty with a short-lived hops aftertaste. Above average, but not by a whole lot.

Jan 30, 2007 Black with a white creamy head from the nitro, lacey. Great smoke but over the top bitterness. Did not get any finsih or aftertaste of sweetness. Hmm...what about on cask? Roastiness not what I would expect from another Irish stout but altogether,maybe it’s the nitro,not my favorite stout.

Dec 31, 2006 Draught. Dark brown with ruby tinges and a creamy mocha head. The aroma is minerally and accompanied by bread, sugar, and faint roast. Seems like a lot of the beers from this pub suffer from wateriness and this one is no exception. Plenty of faint caramel, weak coffee and some dry chocolate. Not great for a stout but it’s one of the better brews I had during this visit to the pub. Easy drinking.
Tasted at the brewpub on December 27, 2006.
