Outstanding smoothness and complexity make this a standout Irish style dry stout. Dark with a creamy tan head. Full-bodied and flavorful with out being cloying or heavy. Roasty and just a touch bitter to finish.

Bottle @ jbrus’s place. Strong aroma of chocolate, cardemom and coffee. Creamy, velvety flavor with coffee, milk chocolate. Lacks some body in the finish, but a quite likeable dry stout.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 11/16/2018. Pours clear nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of roast/bready malts and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, woody, grassy, peppery hops; and roast/charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malts and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.7%. Overall this is an excellent Irish dry stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malts and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Nicely soft and not overly bitter/charred. Awesomely clean/rich English malt complexity, balancing earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast. Mild residual sweetness from lingering crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

Drought, inky black with small tan foamy head, slight roasted malt aroma, low carbonatio, strong alcohol taste overriden by toasted malt flavor, long finish with a burnt aftertaste. Fine brew but the alcohol taste is not fully masked, which is surprising for a beer with less than 9% alcohol content.

Bottle - Vintage old (1999?) - Smells like a tootsie roll, tons of cocoa, molasses and chocolaty goodness. Jet black with a thin brown head. Chocolate and as it smells exactly. Sweet and not sour at all, which is great considering its age. Love it, thanks to CapFlu.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 5/8/11
Aroma: This one has a fairly roasty nose, some coffee, wood, and chocolate
Appearance: The pour is pretty much black with a small brown head
Flavor: The taste is also rather roasted, almost burnt, lightly sweet and lightly bitter
Palate: The mouthfeel of this one is fairly creamy with a medium body and a dry roasted finish
Overall Impression: This was a pretty solid, but fairly one-dimensional stout. The roasted (leaning toward the burnt side) malts are really the dominating component of this one.
