I’m surprised at how unique the taste is with this stout. Flavor is rich and creamy. Very good.

Thick and unique, this is one of a kind IF you get the right pour (C02 ratio) or if you pour yourself from the can. Thick, black pour with a perfect tan head, caramel, chocolate, smooth as it gets; this is liquid dessert.

Can. Earthy, dark roast aroma. Wonderfully thick, creamy tan head leaves great lacing. Flavor is dark espresso w/ a slight hint of peaty smoke, but finishes dry. Creamy palate w/ a slight metallic mouthfeel at the end. The quintessential stout, in my book.

A surprisingly smooth dark beer leaving no bitter aftertaste. This is surely a classic that any beer drinker would like, even if you arent a fan of the dark kind. A must taste!

A classic beer, pours black with a creamy head. Light malt aroma. Thick and creamy roasted malt flavor. Slightly milky and metallic finish, but still smooth. Hard to beat a good guinness.

A dark clear brown stout with a creamy nitro light moka head. A light chocolate malt aroma, coming more clearly as beer warms up (served way too cold). In mouth, a nice peaty malt, roasted notes, especially when imbibing the foam. Lighter bodied, but overall, much superior to what we get in Canada. On tap at O’Neill’s, terminal 3, Heathrow. Mid Nov. 2006.
