The best red beer I have ever had. A great color. With a fabulous head. The beer has a heavy malt and hop aroma, and taste. With a smooth finish. The body of the beer is thicker than other reds, which leads to a very good feel on the palate.

BEERGUY007 (206) - Scotia, New York, USA - DEC 23, 2007

Great beer! Dark black, reminds me of Beamish. Same style, thick black, awesome head. Tiny packed bubbles in the head that lasts forever! Nice and creamy. I will get this one over and over. Tastes like espresso, some carmel overtones. Great beer by some great people! I would love to get this one on tap.

This is one of my favourites! Gorgeous red-ish color, nice malty and semi dry. Little head, only had it from can so far.

BeerDude78 (88) - Brick NJ, New Jersey, USA - MAR 10, 2006

I actually like this a little better than guinness. It has a much more milder taste than guinness, not as bitter. The head has a beautiful froth to it. Very enjoyable!

A great smooth irish amber. Much better than pretty much any other american made amber or red

truckie455 (40) - Derby, Connecticut, USA - MAY 25, 2001

Excellent ale. Best at a bar or bought 6 at a time. It gets a little skunky after sitting in the fridge for a few days.

Saad (104) - Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA - MAY 5, 2001

One of the best made beers in the world. When it comes to making beer they just kick-butt in Ireland. This is just another example of their superior craftmanship.
