Jun 7, 2006 THis is even better than the oyster stout. Has a better body and more flavor. Same dark black appearance with the same lasting beige head. Aroma is lots of roast and chocolate with hints of toffee and nuts. Moderatley sweet throughout but finishes somewhat dry- but probalby would be better off if it were classified as a regular stout.

May 16, 2006 Black colored, medium brown head. Chocolate, roastiness and good Guinness-creamy tones in aroma. Medium bodied. Roastiness is strong in this stout with mild coffee, aftertaste lasts with roastiness and dryness. Fine lace in glass.

Mar 31, 2006 Tap (Nitro), The Porterhouse, Dublin: Almost opaque black. Just a few hints of deep ruby here and there. Full bodied roastiness with a very hefty whack of bittering and flavour hops. It is actually quite bitter back-palate, though nicely balanced by some background sweetness. The hop presence is quite distinctly herbal and really works. In the end the combined bitterness was a bit much really, and so it lost a point for it. However, this is supposed to be a confrontingly bitter beer. I just felt the balance was a little out. Still a fine beer though.

Mar 30, 2006 A good stout. Creamy head, not too dry, good malty characteristics. Almost like a porter to me.

Mar 24, 2006 Deep, rich, oily black stout. Creamy on both the nose and the tongue: lots of coffee and an orange tinge to the aromas. Much more noticeable on the taste, but with an oaty consistency which is nice. I can’t tell you why this brew is cold-filtered -- it is certainly served too cold. Only one black mark on an otherwise exceptionally dry stout. Points off for being a little one-dimensional -- but, hey, if you’re going to brew it, brew it well. They don’t need to get fancy with this one.

Mar 17, 2006 Half pint pulled on St Patrick’s Day at The White Horse on Parsons Green (London), black with a large beige head. A roasted aroma. A tanginess and roast to the flavour that drinks nice and think through the head and works well.

Feb 28, 2006 I’m not sure I liked this one much. Kind of thought it tasted like band aides a bit. I lost my notes, so this terrible review will have to do.

Feb 5, 2006 Starts off with potential: nice toasted malt nose and a lovely dark brown (near-black) color. Taste is somewhat interesting - roasted malt and coffee flavors - but unbalanced and some sour milk notes. Thin body is covered up by the roasted flavors. Not so thrilling in the end.
