Had this from every medium imaginable. Poured an obsidian black with a creamy off white head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with a dry crisp finish.

Bottle can nitro tap keg you name it we’ve all had it. Probably the beer i’ve drank the most of including all the car bombs. This beer is legendary. A dark black cascading beautiful body that looks like it was brewed especially for you. Sweet malty with some chocolate then a bitter nutty coffee finish. I love this beer for its sheer simplicity and drinkablity. This may have been the beer that introduced me to stouts one of my if not my favorite style of beer and for that i will show my praise.

Bottled with nitro tab. Shared a few of these with friends. Very light malt aroma and roasty flavor on the tongue. These is an easy to drink easy to go to stout. We were in the mountains at a dive bar with nothing on tap, but they had this in bottle and its always consistent!

Frequent pick at the store. Nice easy drinking stout. Roast character some hops. Needs to be warm to bring out the other character.

On tap long time ago, I wasn’t experienced in beers and I remember that was full bodied with a strong aroma of roasted malt and coffee...tried now in a 33cl can was disappointing: black colour and thin creamy head, light roasted malt aroma, water flavor, incredible watery body, blank finish with light roasted notes and bitterness...a delusion, I can’t understand why this score of 3.46...I hope to try it next month in Dublin having a better experience

Not rating Guinness shows my lazyness. For me it was one of the gateway beers for me way back. Pitch black with that picture perfect head every time. Retains all the way to the bottom. Not too much aroma and at this stage for me it has become quite watery. Creamy and smooth but light at the same time. A hint of bitterness to balance the chocolate malts.
