On tap. Pours brown with a head that only slowly gets to the surface. Very sticky. Gives a creamy texture to the beer. Taste is watered down, almost nothing left. Bitter. Disappointing.

Draft. Beautiful amber red appearance with inch thick white head. Sweet malty aroma. Taste is caramel and a bit of bitterness, plus also a berry sweetness (strawberry) which I have never realized until now. Typical low ale carbonation. A classic.

Swung by an Irish pub near my work to grab this and get Irish ale ticks to 10. Pouts Amber with big creamy head that goes no where. Nose is sweet malt. Tastes of sweet malts, caramel, peppery, some light berry. Very creamy mouthfeel smooth finish. Little watery on finish. Pleasant enough

16 ounce nitro can. As of this moment the 8th most rated beer I have not personally rated. Pours a clear amber with a large, dense tan nitro head. Good head retention. Aroma of caramel and floral hops. The taste is caramel, floral hops, citrus, tea and toasted malt. Thin bodied.

440ml can into pint glass. Nitrogen widget goes off! Very slight sweet aroma. Good solid cream head on still red/amber beer. Taste is slightly bitter. Gentle smoky malt finish. Very sessionable.

"The beer is dark red in colour with a fluffy white foam head. It tastes malty with a roasty taste in the end. Hints of sweetness in both smell and taste." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
