Darkest brown. Aroma is much on the mushroom side. Light bitter slightly stale with light sourness. Rather umami. Not too shabby.

Creamy, lightly smoky, soft roast, hints of coffee, cocoa and vanilla. Silky smooth, soft and surprisingly refreshing.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso rimanda al caffè e al cioccolato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cremoso mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di panettone, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, nocciole tostate, frutta secca e agrumi.

Tasted at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, chocolate and molasses. Decent to thin body with a biter finish.

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.

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

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.

440ml nitro can pours out black topped with a nice long lasting cream tan head. Nose is nice roast malts some ash and a little chocolate. Taste is more of the nice rich roast malts some ash a little grain.
