Traditional Irish Dry Stout. More taste, more balance, more natural. Roast coffee and fruit notes balanced by delicious Hop Bitterness.

Pours really dark but not pitch black, over a finger of foam, retention and lacing are excellent.
Smell is dark chocolate, roasted malt, light coffee, bitter overall.
Taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some anise in the background. Bitter, earthy.
Smooth mouthfeel, I would not bother to drink this again.

Really nice but it took the full 4 pack to really grow on me. Its hard not to compare this to guinness and so it presents initially as drier, roastier, and the roasted malt really comes through. A very different less sweet profile than Guiness. But after the 2nd one I thought "yea I want some more of that" and found myself happily taking down the 4th one. Cans from Cavallari Gourmet, Oviedo FL. Not sure its entirely worth the $16.99 price tag for the 4 pack but hey.

500ml bottle. Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, ash and coffee. Semi-sweet flavour of roasted malt, plum, licorice and cocoa in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty.

More or less black colour with a mediumsized creamy/fine foamy head. Aroma is toasted, some mild nutty, a bit roasted and chocolaty tones. Flavour is quite similar to that. Lovely smooth.
