Not impressed at all. Very watered down with not much flavor. Black pour with brown head, little aroma and very weak body.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark black pour with a mound of tan foam. Aroma is very burnt with a little hint of chocolate. Not much else. Flavor is bitter, burnt, and ashy. Way too much roasted flavor. It definitely overpowers the entire beer. Some chocolate at the end but it was very weak and not very pleasant.

<i>Draught at Coles, Buffalo, NY.</i> I wrote ’Magic Hat Matty O’Connors Irish Stout’ which I’m assuming must be this. Pours a very dark brown with an average size fluffy light-brown head. Mild aroma of lightly roasted mat, some coffee and a hint of chocolate. Slightly watery flavour of mild roasted malt, coffee and a bit of chocolate. Average bodied &#40;should be fuller for a Stout imo&#41;. Not bad, a decent Stout.

On tap at Cole’s. Black, small tan head. Sweet aroma, odd for a dry stout. Decent roast in taste, but body is thin, bubbly, and a tad watery, which took away from the overall impact. I liked it, but only ok at best.

draft sampled at brewery. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Flavor follows the aroma and is smooth and creamy with a dry finish
