COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The classic Irish-style dry stout is the basic background of this aromatic ebony elixir but deviations may occur from batch to batch as we improvisationally wander through variations on the theme.

jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 1, 2006
Draft @ Taproom. Black body with thick creamy fingers of dark beige head. Mild dry cocoa-coffee-chocolate aroma. Flavour is quite dry, chalky cocoa up front gives way to muted sweet malt and light roasty bitterness throughout. Palata is quite creamy but a lightness at times makes me suspect that nitrogen plans a role in the creaminess. A pleasant and servicable stout.

GiBrew (171) - Fredericton, New Brunswick, CANADA - APR 17, 2006
Available at the Taproom in Fredericton, NB. Pours dark brown with a very thick frothy beige head. Aroma is mostly coffee, some dark chocolate and smokiness. Likewise for the flavours, medium bodied, with a super creamy mouthfeel - creamier then chocolate milk. Probably the best micro-brewed stout available in the Maritimes.

Spillproof (5) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAR 27, 2006 does not count
On tap at the Taproom. Looks like nice stout. Nice creamy head. Flavour I found had no malt character, other then strong roast. watery unsatisfying mouthfeel. aroma was burnt coffee. Like stout a lot, but I found this lacking.,

JRHBrew (311) - Fredericton, New Brunswick, CANADA - MAR 10, 2006
On tap at the tap room in Fredericton, NB. Smells like coffee and english hops. Dark black with a foamy beige head. Couldn’t be sure if it was nitrogenated or not. If not, kudos to the brewer. If so, I guess kudos as well. Tastes very much like the guiness brewed in Canada without the overly astringent taste and more of a gourmet roast java feel.
