[At GABF 2004] A red-brown beer with a collapsing orange head. The aroma is very sweet roasted with notes of chocolate. The flavor is somewhat sour - is it because of the low alcohol content? but it has a nice roastyness and a dry woody end.

Draught at Pizza Port &#40;Carlsbad&#41;, California.<br />Fine creamy long lasting light tan head, black body. Mild roasted malty, flowery and grassy aroma. Roasted malt in the flavor as well with smoke tones. A typical Irish stout!

&#40;Nitro draft: Pizza Port in Carlsbad, CA&#41; The expected dry and dark roasted flavor is certainly here, though the dark roasted flavor is fairly moderate; Bitterness is less intense than expected, but given the moderate dark roasted flavor, less bitter seems right in line; Fairly light palate for the style as well, but still with a medium body; The nose is Irish Stout all the way -- dry and dark roasted; The color isn’t black and opaque, but rather a very deep, deep ruddy brown; Creamy tan head with excellent retention as expected from a nitro tap; Head is not as thick as Guinness &#40;can’t draw in it!&#41;, but it leaves a nice blanket of lacing

Pours a bark brown color that can be seen through when held to a bright light. The medium head is a light tan color with good lacing. Aroma is very, very roasted and malty. Flavor is mainly roasted malt with some nice nuttiness involved. Body is very watery.
