DocLock (4170), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 17, 2005 Pours ruby with a 2-finger, off-white head. Aroma of malt, cabernet, cherries, some brown sugar. The flavor is roasty malty, with some fruit, hops, brown sugar, and dark chocolate at the finish. jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 7, 2005 12 oz bottle-pours a thick lacing light tan head with a clear dark amber color. Aroma is hoppy followed by malt. Taste is slightly bitter, hops, dark deep roasted malt. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Sep 30, 2007 Bottle -- Poured deep, woody and red with a big creamy-foam head. The aroma hints at chocolate and coffee, interestingly. Indeed this drinks like a firm Irish red, full of flavors like coffee and chocolate, with a sweet finish. If this had a little more body, it would be much better. Perfect side for an Irish stew or some bangers and mash. (#3113, 9/30/2007)
