On tap at King St, pours a near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and a touch of earthiness. Flavour is very timid and lifeless, with toasted malt and a touch of earthiness. Very light and lifeless. Very useless stout.

Thanks to Kevin for bringing this one down here.
I poured this into a mug.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thick one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some thick creamy and foamy lacing that stuck for a while.
The smell had a dry roasty coffee, slightly robust and light chocolate comes through nicely.
The taste was mainly a dry robust roasty coffee which led to the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed appropriately styled and was good to me.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Irish Dry Stout that I would have again.

Puffed out Can - Watch Out on Aging this one! Dark brown coloured body with a bit of a ruby, violet and lighter brown glow when held up to a light, all with an eight centimetre tall rich light brown head - all that carbonation has to go somewhere. Aroma of alcohol, roasted malt, icing sugar, yeast and a bit of oatmeal. Medium-bodied; Rich chocolatey character and roasted malt flavours show the strongest with an oatmeal finish and lingering bitterness from hops noticeable as well. Aftertaste shows a dry quality, some toffee and nutty sweetness and a bunch of effervescence. Overall, a surprisingly nice stout with a low alcohol, but a lot of flavour - definitely worth trying if you can find this one, but do NOT age this, my can was ready to explode! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from La Bodega in Anchorage, Alaska on 04-October-2013 for US$1.70 sampled at home in Washington on the opposite end of this country on 26-February-2014. ’aged’ for ~5 months with the last month in a fridge, and this one was ready to explode.
