Aug 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours almost black with a huge 3 finger tan head that results in nice lacing. The nose is ash, roasted malt, light coffee and some cocoa. The taste is light molasses, ashy cocoa, burnt malt and sour coffee grounds. Thin mouthfeel for the style. Not great, but serviceable. Would be better with a bit more body.

Jul 31, 2009 This has always been one of my favorite Lakefront beer. A very nice Irish stout. I wish it was year-round instead of a seasonal.

Jul 1, 2009 Blah...A less than average dry stout. Aroma was weak for the style. Dark roasted malt with a weird dustiness to it. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a one finger near tan head. Taste was thin and watery with not much substance. Tasted like cold watery coffee with a bitter aftertaste.

Jun 18, 2009 Rocky head on the beer, and a cool old Celtic label on the bottle. The malty aroma has a touch of skank to it. This is a dry, roasty stout. Pretty flavorful, with some similarity to the black behemoth of Irish stouts. Toasted grains and hops, a little coffee flavor too. A solid stout.

May 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown, near black, with a thin tan head. The aroma has roasted malts, coffee, and bakers chocolate. The body is a bit too thin. The flavor has sweet and roasted malt, cocoa powder, and coffee. Not bad, but very close to being in the 3.6-3.8 range with a little bit more body and a little bit more roast.
