medkung (238) - Bangkok, THAILAND - APR 8, 2024
UPDATED: APR 8, 2024 Can Version BBF 31 August 2024 Got this one from my friend brings from South Korea and this can produce in UK This one is clean body, nice balance, low sweet, smooth body from nitrogen, easy to drinking, low bitter, nothing harsh or weird. Tasting lead from malty taste and chocolate, burnt but fading very fast then straight through hop taste such as a little bit of citrus and spice and dry finished. Good one but a little bit boring when you compare with mainstream stout.

blackbock (228) - Shoalhaven NSW, AUSTRALIA - MAR 22, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 22, 2024 (can) Poured a dusky tan-black, ivory nitro head with low-moderate foam retention. Aroma is roasty, coffee, old man's beer. Mouthfeel is pretty creamy and smooth, with an aftertaste resembling burnt coffee. I lke it a lit and didn't get any alcohol headache afterwards, just a slight full feeling in the belly. Surprisingly a good beer for so low ABV. I wish it was more common in these parts.

thegreenrooster (6949) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - MAR 9, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 9, 2024 One of those beers I'm surprised I have not rated yet. Pour is a black with a thin tan head. Aroma is a nice roast and bitter bakers chocolate. Flavor is a decent char with some wet paper bag. It has a creamy mouthfeel and leaves some of that bitterness on the tongue. Pretty good Irish stout that is maybe a little more flavorful than Guinness.

huineman (1364) - Madrid, SPAIN - OCT 2, 2023
UPDATED: OCT 2, 2023 Pint at Murphy's Irish pub at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, which, for whatever reason, is not listed here (and for whatever reason RB won't let me list it, though I'm a premium member.) A clean, jet black pour with a thick, surely lacing, nitro-laden tan head. Aroma is chicory, licorice, tobacco, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, burnt toast, cola jelly beans. Dry, a tad watery, refreshing despite its being utterly bitter. Long-lasting finish with more charcoal and roasty tinges.

3.6
Arbitrage411 (349) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 26, 2023
UPDATED: SEP 26, 2023 Cascading bubbles inside a beige creamy head similar to milkshake. Darkness black brown and mostly opaque pour. Definite hanging lacework. Cocoa fragrant on the nose. A seamless non bitter first taste. Roasted malts, gentleness on the mouthfeel, consistent with a sweet chocolate pastry profile. The 4% is subtle so this is something of a session stout. Tasty. Lasting milky head. Mild finish.

arsol (3737) - Sørumsand, NORWAY - AUG 23, 2023
UPDATED: AUG 23, 2023 Bortimot svart med høyt lyst beige skum. Lukter sjokolade, røstet malt og kaffe. Fyldig og kremet i munnfølelse. Mild kaffe og sjokolade også i smaken.

4.3
Carlisle (1463) - Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 22, 2023
Draft (nitro) in Ireland. Pours black with reddish-brown hue and cream-colored head and substantial lacing. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Chocolate and roasted malt flavors. Creamy body with a medium-long finish with more chocolate notes.

rennat42 (5363) - Ravenna, Nebraska, USA - JUN 15, 2023
UPDATED: JUN 15, 2023 Draft. A- Cocoa, roasty, coffee. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head. T- Cocoa, roasty, coffee. P- Medium body, slightly thin texture, flat carbonation, roasty finish. O- Not much different than a Guinness, guess it just depends if you're in Cork or outside of cork on which you'll be drinking. Decent enough.
