Forget everything you know about stout. Forget what you think it tastes like. And forget having to go to Dublin to get a good pint of it. There’s a new stout in town, and it’s demanding your attention.
Chocolate and extra dark crystal malts give layers of roasted, toasted coffee and cocoa, with a hint of caramel coming through. Classic stout, brewed in and for this century. Old dog, new tricks.

Can 44cl. Nitro fzz when opened. Opaque deep black with a creamy, beige nitro head. Roasty nose, coffeeish, molasses. Thin and watery body – is Guinness really this thin? Roast, rye bread, chocolate with some maltbitterness in the finish. Very easy drinking. 140623 7/3/6/2/12

Can@Conrads. Pours opaque black with large creamy white head. Aroma is roasted malt, filter coffee, dark chocolate and hints of soy sauce. Taste is medium sweet, light bitter, faint acidic and faint salty. Body is creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and hints of soy sauce. Very similar to a draught Guinness

Nitro tap at Valhalla Viking Metal Craft Beer Pub, Zagreb. Dark brown to black, medium creamy beige head. Nice roasty aroma, slightly nutty and caramely but with enough burnt character. Very creamy and smooth, very well executed. Roasty, burnt flavour, some caramely sweetness. Light finish, minimal bitterness.

Can, thx Cura Od Gnoma! Nitro cascade ending in a black body, with a thick off-white head, lasting. Coffee, papery, nutty aroma, lean. Creamy but dry and empty taste, ending a bit cardboardy, nutty and with unbalanced bitterness. Just not the greatest example.
