A pitch black beer with a beutiful head. It doesn’t have much aroma but hints of smoked malt. The flavor is that of smoked malt with some hop bitterness. All in all a very drinkable beer among the more fullbodied beers.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) The quintessence of Irish beer - no less. Pitch black with a pretty brownish head, albeit no nitrogen in this bottled version. Very dry, almost ashy with a lasting bitterness all the way through. The mother of dry stouts....Mine was 5% ABV. 101200

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Scored at Brewery Creek, where it was rescued from a gift pack. Dull brown. The aroma is characterful - whiskeyish, slightly nutty aroma hinting at a light creaminess. Fairly light body, lead by a healthy roast character, again with some background nuttiness. Good easy-drinking stout with just enough complexity and uniqueness to keep it interesting.
