Tap @ Biskopen, Bergen. Pours a pitch black body with a big creamy nitro head. Roasted malts, a hint of smoke and a good chocolate nose. This is basically a Guinness only a bit sweeter and a bit thinner body. A nice stout and a good alternative to Guinness.

Pint widget can, $1.80 loose @ Binny’s. My first Welsh-brewed beer. I’ll accept it only as a technicality. Can pours nicely, raising happy milk chocolate smell, nice cascade of bubbles. Settles to a white 1/2-inch nitro head over a black stout body, few visible bubbles. Taste has a creamy start from the foam. Taste is actually too smooth. Just a nice malt body with a slight touch of roastiness. Some bitterness at the sides of the tongue. Well, it is a session beer, something to keep your hand busy while chatting, and at least much more interesting than a Lite. Texture is nice, adding to a non-distracting beer experience.

Nitro can. Almost black with a dense beige head. Mild aroma of chocolate milk, roasted malt, flowers. Very smooth mouthfeel. Taste is gentle and light with a bare touch of roast, milky chocolate and a mild drying finish. Hasn’t got an awful lot going for it but what there is is all in sync.

Aroma is barley and a bit of saddle leather. Looks plenty dark, but still a bit of light shining through, and the head is a little less dense than I’m used to seeing in these creamy stouts. Flavour is spicy barley and alcohol, no complexity. Palate is a bit watery. But it’s enjoyable, good for a session beer.

Almost black beer with medium, beautiful and beige head. Aroma is roasted, liquirice, coffee and some sweetness; nice and surprisingly rich and full aroma. Very smooth and quite light flavour, roastiness and coffee. Flavour is lighter and simplier than aroma. Very nice and smooth stout, flavour is slightly too simple but still it is "enough"; good beer with low alc.%.

This is the first brew that I tried at a new pub/restaurant called Hooley’s, in Ottawa, Ontario (back in March 2006). Pours a black colour with red highlights and a beatiful cascade-effect. Nice thick creamy tanned head that leaves good lacing and has great retention. The nose is slightly mild with molasses, coffee and roasted malt. Smooth semi-cream, semi-watery mouthfeel. The taste is quite light, but roasted malts show up. Not much bitterness and no candy flavours. After breathing a bit, and having food, the taste (roasted malt) started coming out more. This is a refreshing light tasting stout, for those who like Guinness, but find it too bitter. I still find that Beamish beats both.

I can’t say that I particularly love the flavor of this beer. These nitrogen widget cans can definitely hurt the flavor of a beer, but they make the thing so darn pretty. The head is like meringue, and the separating bubbles are enjoyable to watch. The aroma is roasty and a bit nutty. The flavor is on the bland side of Irish dry stouts but certainly not bad. It’s a welcome change from Guinness, anyway.

I was too kind to this one. I’d probably give it around a 3.5 today. Very nice chocolate aroma. Taste is mocha, creams and breads. Dry finish. Rated 11/22/2000

On draught, pours black with a small tan head, a la Guinness. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt and light espresso. Not too bad.
