Pouring gives the familiar nitro / Guinness effect. Settles quicker than Guinness though with a larger 3cm head. Dark malts on the nose, slight cocoa notes, dark toasted bread. Lovely smooth head while drinking. A good bit more body and slightly sweeter than Guinness, oilier, thicker. Nice lingering medium bitterness. Darkly toasted bread taste. Lovely, great alternative.

Can from Kaufland Poljička, Split, shared with heavy. Very dark brown body, thick off-white head. Creamy aroma, raisins, chocolate, coffee, lightly toasty. Light, dry taste, bit roasty, bit toasty, bit yeasty somehow, empty... Okay at best really, but more drinkable than the Nitro Irish Red at least.

Közepes, tartós hab fekete szín. Enyhén medvecukros, kávés, csokis illat. Száraz, kávés, pörkölt malátás íz. Könnyű, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Kellemes, kissé a Guinnes-re hasonlító sör.

Can from the LCBO. Dark mahogany under a large foamy cage au lait coloured head that lingers and produces thick lace. Nose is coffee, dark chocolate, chalk, light vanilla and dark malts. Light sweet malt and a light+ coffee bitterness. Mouth is thinner than expected but still creamy with fine carbonation. 8-/5/7/3/15

Looks almost pitch black in the glass with a relatively dense, creamy-looking head, the slightest off-white. Good retention and nice lacing. A quite subdued aroma of soft dark malts: very light toasted notes, milk chocolate, light vanilla. Clean and simple. Taste is a little richer, at least in intensity if not in complexity. Soft milk/oatmeal stout like roasted malts with a light hint of coffee, milk chocolate, light vanilla. Leaning towards sweetness, but overall in good balance with enough flavour neutral bittering hops and a clean, dry enough finish. Light to medium body with very light, delicate carbonation; feels nicely smooth with a pleasant hint of creaminess. Overall a very simple but well made and pretty enjoyable soft stout. Very similar to guinness, but feels more natural.

Can at Schwechat airport Billa. Does the job very well. Despite not being able to pour it in a glass, I clearly felt the nitro element and creamy smoothness on my tongue. It was dry, with a feeling of rather high but creamy carbonation. Fully roasty, coffeeish, a bit ashy, with little getting in the way. Good one.
