OK really who hasn’t had this. Irish car bombs the other night, and it was so good. I haven’t had one since I joined BA and its just like I remembered it, smooth low alky and enjoyable. They go down so smooth that you don;t think of the % in it cause its so low. doesn’t matter it was good, and when nothing else is around I grab one.

Draught. Almost black, with a clear reddish hue, beige head. Roasted, malty aroma, mint, chocolate, hops, fudge. Dry, surprisingly light bodied, low to medium bitterness, creamy CO2. Malty, roasted, smooth taste, chocolate, hops, rye bread, slightly burnt. (2011-10-31)

DANEgerous (28) - Texas, USA - NOV 4, 2011
Aroma: Roasted malt, hay, some chocolate. Appearance: Striking black against a stark white head. Taste: An all around quality yet uninteresting stout it is everything you expect and nothing else Palate: thick, creamy nice Overall: Good, but rather expected. Quality yes, innovative no so much

Nitro can. Almost black with beautiful nitro head. Roasted aroma with coffee and a lovely combination of vanilla and wood reminding me of a scotch whisky. Moderate roasted taste with a medium strong but lasting bitterness. Slightly sourish aftertaste of vanilla-wood and slightly earthy coffee. Great, classic session brew.

(50 cl can from a supermarket) Pours dark brown with insane amounts of tan head. Good retention and lace. Aroma is dry toasted malt with notes of instant coffee. Oily texture, medium carbonation, medium body and a dry finish. Taste is slightly bitter with toasted notes. Girlfriend says: "It has a little darkness in it but it’s easy to drink."

Pours impressively black with creamy white head. served cold, very little aroma to report. taste is creamy and dense, a bit fruity, not massively complex, but a gorgeous silky mouth feel. this goes down extremely well, lovely stuff.

Reliable favourite. Would drink it pretty much any time except the hottest summer days. Great look, great taste, great beer.
