Notes of espresso and milky chocolate on the nose meld with flavors of dark roasted barley to create a rich, creamy mouth-feel that ends with a dry, slightly bitter, finish.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown head, about three centimetres tall that dies down fairly quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, light anise, some licorice, a good deal of earth and nuts and finished with a good deal of lactose. Medium-bodied; Relatively mild roasted malt flavour that shows some lactose, grain, hazlenuts and a little bit of toffee and caramelised sugars noticeable. Aftertaste shows more of the malts than anything else, but definitely on the dry side of things and showing only a bit of the anise and licorice notes that ends with a little bit of peat and a lot of bitterness throughout. Overall, a pretty standard Irish Dry with some nice malty characteristics, but not enough depth, complexity or body to make this stand out. It's definitely not a bad beer and shows well, but isn't for people to go out and try to find, unless you absolutely love the style or want to drink it on Saint Patrick's Day! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 31-January-2018 for US$2,24 sampled in my hotel room here in Lexington Park, Maryland on 07-March-2018.

$1.95 Bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours black with a frothy tan head. Aroma is cocoa. Flavor is cocoa, light coffee. Only a bit of flavor - really plain, but also drinkable.
