From Dec 2006

Poured from 16oz can(nitro) avery dark brown with reddish hues and a large head of foam.

The smell is very light but I can sense some roasted malt.

The taste has some nice roastiness to it with a touch of sweetness. The finish has a semi bitter taste to it that is quite pleasant. Good sessionable Irish Dry Stout and I like it a lot...I could drink it all day. ;^)

Geschmacklich ist mir das Guinness leiber, da es feinere Aromen hat. Das Murphy's ist etwas rustikaler: das Röstmalz ist zwar intensiver, aber platter. Sicher kein schlechtes Bier, aber es gibt bessere -auch im Industriemaßstab.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with moderate lightish tan head. Aromas of roasted malt/barley. Flavors of watery coffee, cardboard, nuts and dusty roasted malts. Light bitter finish. A classic surpassed by craft.

Classic Irish dry stout tasted from tap. Tanned, creamy, very dense, milky head and near black colour. Looks the same as Guinness Draught and has the same thick creamy mouthfeel, but there is less iron in the aroma and more malty and fruity sweetness in the mouth, more apple- and chocolate-like; finish equally roasted bitter. On the same par as Guinness Draught, but I’d prefer Beamish.

Keg at Pleasance Courtyard. Black body with a lasting tan head. Excellent lacing. Aroma of creamy chocolate, earth and ash. Flavour of biscuit and burnt toast. Dry finish. Thick mouthfeel with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Not bad, but not particularly memorable.

On keg. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - a very elusive note of dark chocolate biscuits. Taste - mainly malt not much chocolate. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - decent for a mass distribution beer.

Duft av kaffe, bek og lakris. Mørk, nesten sort farge. Tykt brunt skum. Muk smak av kaffe og noe sjokolade.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass and a mug. There wasn’t much difference between the two glasses.
The appearance was dark brown color ranging close to black. The head was a film of off white foaminess coating the sides of the glass.
The smell had a nice blend of roasty coffee to sweet dark chocolate. There was also a light milk chocolate coming in as it warmed.
The taste was basically balanced between the roasty coffee to sweet chocolates.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was construed to be somewhat sharp but tame enough to take down at a decent pace.
Overall, Irish Dry Stout? Oh yeah. Done well. Oh yeah. Would this guy have it again. Oh yeah!
