From a can with a floating widget (or is that just Guiness’s term?). Very creamy mouthfeel, much like a Guiness. Dark and rich, almost chewy. Not as complex as I’d like it to be. Thick foamy head, very dark in color, a light nuttiness to it, no hops, low carbonation, doesn’t get much better as it warms.

Poured form the tap into a Murphy’s glass. Nick cascading effect, settling black with a thin white head. Lacing is excellent. Smell is mostly of roasted malts. The taste is the same as the smell with the addition of chocolate and a very faint hint of coffee. The carbonation was very light, even for being on-tap. It was very creamy and goes down nice and smooth. This is an excellent pub brew. I would have to have some more of this to make a fair judgment, but as of now I think I would take this one over Guinness. Reviewed on: 05-21-2007

Draugt poured into a pint glass - pours a nice black color with a creamy tan head. Scents of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt wth a slightly smoky aroma. Definitely tastes of a chocolate coffee - nice beer.

Draught. Pours a good dense black, though letting more light through than a Guinness (inevitable comparison). And decent slightly off-white head too. Rich on the nose, of chocolate and roasted malt and barley. Quite sweet (for a stout) on the palate, and a lighter mouthfeel (than Guinness). Very quaffable.

Enjoying a Murphy’s while listening to the WolfeTones with ARMed and some good friends. Pours a nice dark brown/black with a thick cream, off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Taste is sweetened coffee with hints of chocolate and roasted malt. Palate is long-lasting and enjoyable. An excellent beer!
