Bottle. Poured dark red with foamy white head. Faint aroma of malt, a little hop, a little milk. Slim flavour is malt with a little butter. Not unpleasant, and the butteriness is not very noticeable. Thin finish, a little bitterish. Not unpleasant on a muggy day, but not a rave.

(Draught in Dublin on 2008-07-01) Deep amber. Clear. Quite dense medium-sized white head. Weak malty nose. Medium palate with some carbonation. Sweet malts, hops and bread in taste. Some fruitiness and liquorice, too.

bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a medium frothy off white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a strong malt. Decent lacing on this one. The taste is very malty with a dry bitter finish. This was a good Irish Ale from the brewers of Guinness.

Bottle: Pours a amber brown color with a lasting beige head. Aroma of malt and grass, not really that pleasant. Taste is more malty, hints of caramel, nuts, and hints of roasted malt. A bland, faceless finish.

Can. A clear, golden beer with a decent, off-white head. It has a boring, but not bad, aroma of mostly burnt caramel. The flavor is more on the malty side, but there’s some caramel as well. Thin-bodied boring beer, with almost no finish, just some vague grain- and malt-notes. Boring! (070213)
