Got a can because fuck nitrogen. Drank to the Pogues' The Parting Glass because stout. Very dark brown. Just a thin head. Some nice dark chocolate notes, mellow fruitiness, maybe some nuts. Nice touch of roast acidity, again chocolate. The malts are a bit husky, but just a bit. Full body. Moderate (apparent) bitterness...55 is heavy but it doesn't come across that way. Good night and joy be with you all.

Has good nitro foam on a dark brown body that also looks a little watery. The aroma is nice chocolate and sweet coffee, delivering well here. Flavour is excellent smooth soft coffee, some chocolate, smooth hazelnut. Mouthfeel is very full and very smooth. This is an excellent rendition of the style.

On tap at Angry Hen, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of earthy notes, some oats, and dry roast. Flavour is dry and toasty, with dry oats, earthy notes, and bitter coffee. There's even some hop presence felt in here, which in a nice addition. Dry and roasty finish. Better than your average Irish stout. Solid.
