8/20/2009: Wrasslers XXXX Stout... Aroma: Sweet anise, cocoa/dark chocolate, dark fruits. Appearance: Brilliant deep ruby brown with a large and foamy tan-colored head. Flavor: Deep cooked apples and pear, heavily caramelized malts, a bit of char; dark and semi-sweet chocolates; mineral-like quality. Palate: Medium-bodied, average palate. Overall: Decent; a nice return to the traditional stouts...

Lots of roast aroma. Small beige head. Black smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol initially with a slight sweetness leading to a crisp very bitter and dry lasting burnt roast and oat finish.

Aug 7, 2009 From tap at Charlies. Pours pitch black with a creamy chocolate brown head. Aroma is of chocolate and liqourice. Smooth and creamy body. Bitter and roasted malt flavoured with a distinct liqourice acidic touch. Bitter and citric flavoured finish. Lingering smooth roasted note into the far finish. Bitter and roasted lasting impression.

does not count  Jul 6, 2009 On tap at The Porterhouse, Dublin 5/7/09.
Aroma: Subtle, earthy hops.
Appearance: Opaque black with tan, creamy head.
Flavor: Dry and roasty up front with a lingering bitterness of Kent Goldings.
Palate: Heavy flavor, but dry.
Overall Impression: The best Irish stout I’ve had, bar none. Great late hop flavor. I would suggest trying this alongside their ’Plain Porter’. The rather bland Plain will make you appreciate what a fine beer this is.

Jun 13, 2009 [2152-20090515] Tap. Mild peas (what’s with Porterhouse peas anyway?) and mild toast aroma. Dark brown black body with a medium-lasting foamy light tan head. Grainy roast flavour finishes richly with roasted malt. Dry medium-full body. Average.
