MisterDenson (49) - Virginia, USA - MAY 19, 2012
Rating #38 for 2012 12oz bottle cold from a stem glass. Burnt malt aroma, slighly sweet. Opaque almost black with a thin pale clay colored head, and streaky tan lacing. Taste was bland chalky slight burt malt with a creamy finish. Palate was watery with almost no carbonation. Was more enjoyable as it warmed. Very boring for a Stout.

So far the best beer I’ve had in my quest to find the perfect beer for me. Great, milky head that keeps the full taste of this Irish stout intact with a colour blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.

emartell (50) - Zapopan, Jalisco, MEXICO - MAY 17, 2012
Aroma con notas a cacao, cafe tostado y maltas con pequeños esbosos a chocolate. Apariencia perfecta para una stout. Color intensamente negro. Carbonatación muy ligera, corona de espuma muy intensa y abundante, esponjosa y de cuerpo redondo. En boca, cremosa, seca, aterciopelada y amarga. Al paladar sobresale la cremosidad, pero sobre todo, el amargor y un final medio. En general una muy buena stout, reconocida mundialmente. Excelente cuerpo y amargor caracteristico.

tom10101 (184) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 14, 2012
Can 500 ml. Pours black with a superb fully lasting creamy off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma isn’t strong. Slight notes of roasted/burnt malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is medium sweet with slight notes of roasted/burnt malt. Mouthfeel is creamy. Hard to believe that this one was my favorite a couple of years ago... Beautiful beer with a nice mouthfeel and high drinkability but nothing outstanding.

Bottle. Classic taste and full thick body. Great full palate and aftertaste. A good intro to stouts. Best from tap in Ireland. ---Rated via my mouth

HopTsing (153) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - MAY 11, 2012
From the can poured (into my 32 year old Guinness mug) a dark black brew with a thick, rich, creamy head. Aromas and flavors of slightly roasty malt. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Almost as good as what you get in a pub on tap, but not quite.
