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 can at Hops & Bottles. Near black pour, half finger creamy tan head. Roasty aroma with a little sweetness. Taste is roasty, chocolate, and some light sweetness. Overall, the nitro gives it an almost lactose vibe.

A nitro can at Valhalla Viking Metal Craft Beer Pub, Zagreb. Dark brown to black, medium to large creamy tan head. Aroma is lightly toasty and burnt, flavour is roasty, nutty with a hint of prunes. Very thin, soft, drinkable, although slightly cloying. Minimal bitterness, light dry finish. Classy.
