12oz bottle, from Trader Joe’s I believe the bottle came from trader joes. no date but i believe that this beer was purchased maybe 6 months ago. I also believe that this is A solid irish stout. it poured a super deep brown with a thick tan head that driped over the sides of my stemware. the aroma was roast choclate, and the flavor was more of the same. hints of carmel but not a lot of sweetness. the palate was a bit sticky, but the beer was very soomth. I didn’t notice much of the carbantion mention by other raters, so this much be an older bottle, but it s a good drinable sotu by a good brewery for a good price. sounds like a winner to me.

Jul 6, 2008 Dark brown pour with small diminishing head. Weak aroma of burnt malt. Flavor mirrors the aroma- some burnt notes with nuttiness. Metal in the finish. Mouthfeel is much thicker than expected though. Apparently, no one can better old Arthur Guinness.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Porus a deep browht with a thin light head. Aroma is light roasted barley and chocoolate nuttiness, but also has a strange off artificial sweetness. Flavor alsohas that sacharin sweetness, with some dry nutty chocolate malts- finishes a bit metallic- with a dry and dusty mouthfeel. I wasnt crazy about this one.

Jun 1, 2008 Out of a bottle, from Trader Joe’s. Poured a beautiful dark, deep brown with a hint of red, nice frothy good sized dark tan head. Strong coffee taste, with a hint of chocolate. Smell reminded me more of chocolate than coffee though. Nice dry finish. Best buy at that price.

May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black body with some ruby hues and a delicate tan head. Aroma is chocolate malt, and some roastiness. Light bodied stout with a mouth drying finish. Just an easy low abv stout here.
