2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 dlbeer (380) - Wisconsin, USA - NOV 27, 2012Tap. Dark brown pour with thick white head. Smells of roasted malts and slight chocolate. Tastes like a watered down guiness. Not one of my favorites.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 Xstream (95) - - MAY 11, 2013
One of my favorite stouts. Similar to Guinness, but with a nicer flavor profile. It has a mild slightly burned caramel finish is especially like. Not very thick or heavy, quite fresh for a stout. Too bad it’s very hard to get it over here.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 jflopsu (90) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 3, 2013
Pours a black with a tan head. A strong coffee aroma and after taste. However, it is a little watery, similar to Guinness in the US.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Creedence (127) - Cork, IRELAND - APR 26, 2013
Draught at Murphy’s promo in Beamish & Crawford. Pours a deep brown with a half-inch nitro head. No aroma due to the nitro, very slight hint of toast. Taste is mostly sweet (toasted malt, chocolate, a hint of cinammon) with a touch of coffee bitterness. A little thinner on the mouthfeel than one would expect, with a light sweet aftertaste. Not the worst of the macro Irish stouts, but nowhere near in the league of Beamish.

On tap @ Fleischers hotel, Voss. Pours brown, with a big creamy and lightly coloured head. Aroma is burned malts, caramel ad nuts. Body is full with a rather thin texture and soft carbonation. Flavour is sweet with burned malts and dark chocolate, as well as nuts and some notes of molasses.

On tap, thick, creamy tan head and a dark brown appearance. Aroma is roasted malt, bread, a bit of coffee. Taste is thin, toasted malt, some chocolate. Somewhat unsatisfying.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Sizzler80 (299) - Dublin, IRELAND - APR 17, 2013
Jet black nitro pour, with a velvety beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, peat, leather, fruity hop notes. A worthy adversary to Guinness.

Decent Stout, Corks most popular stout vs Dublin’s world famous Guinness. Enjoyable just like Guinness is.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Lilja (950) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 15, 2013
Lättsam, tjock och krämig på samma gång. Smak och doft av humle, malt, mörkchoklad, nötter, en aning bränd. Lagom söt och med en trevlig beska.

Bue en fût au Cosmos. Bière très obscure et très crémeuse, un peu comme la Guinness d’ailleurs. Nez de café noir avec des pointes de chocolat. En bouche, c’est donc très crémeux, et le goût rappelle réfinitivement celui de la Guinness. C’est une belle stout crémeuse. Cheers!
