From the bottle. Dark brown with a thin, off white head. Aroma is licorice, floral, skunk. Taste is lightly bitter with mild, fruity undertones. Body is medium to light. Smooth. Mild carbonation. Overall, apart from some unpleasant tones in the aroma, not bad.

500ml bottle. Clear, darkest brown colour with ruby glimmer and average, firm, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of red berries and dark berries, blueberry, a touch of plum, dark malty background with a pumpernickel touch. Taste is dry hoppy, fruity and dark malty, slightly doughy yeasty, notes of plum and red berries, a touch of pumpernickel, cocoa and dark chocolate. If not genuinely an Irish, definitely an un-American interpretation of the style.
