UPDATED: MAR 20, 2011 half litre can, dark, obviously but hints of red at the edges. Head stays longer than on other beers. Smells of smoked vegetables. Thin body, tastes of smoked iron. This beer looks great, but thats its best feature. Smooth, 4.2 means it’s a beer that can be sessioned. It’s over priced though. Beer for accountants.

Funny that I’ve never rated this, given it’s possible I’ve had this as much as any other beer over the past 15 years. Pours beautiful black with creamy light beige head. Nose shows some chocolate, mild vanilla, and that Guinness metallic flavor that comes across in taste as well, especially in the head. I don’t know... tastes like Guinness. Surprisingly light and easy to drink.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2010 This was is a great beer, but having tried other stout beers this one just seemed watered down. A good beer but not the beer I’m going to reach for when i want a stout beer.

The beer looks great, but i found it to be watery and lacking strong flavours.

Looks amazing. Watery, drinkable, not that much flavour, bit of coffee, bit of roast. Nice and easy going; can drink a lot of this stuff.

dyetube (984) - McKinney, Texas, USA - NOV 11, 2010
This beer pours black with a medium tan head that stays and leaves some good pacing. The aromas aremilk chocolate, coffee. The mouthfeel is slightly watery with a bitterness and roastines. The body is full. This is a typical stout. Cheers!

Pours dark amber with a thick white head. A light, creamy body with the taste of roasted malts. A good beer, and a classic - always a good choice.
