On draft at Johnnie Fox’s. Pours a cloudy amber into the pint glass, large white head that stays around for awhile, medium lacing. Aroma of freshly mowed hay, popcorn, black pepper. Taste is same as the aroma with a fat lager mouthfeel, short finish with some hop bitterness. Nice but middle of the road.

12 oz. bottle from Molloy’s. Pours fairly thin and watery into the pint glass. More carbonation than I’m used to from a porter, which is not a good start. Traditional porter roasty toasty aromas, but again, a little thin, aroma is struggling to come out. Taste is again roasted malts, some nuttiness, thin watery and way over carbonated. Doesn’t hold up to the competition.

Keg @ 57 The Headline, Dublin [210114]
Fairly dark brown, bubbly off white head, looks more like a dark brown bitter, some lacing
Aroma - some burnt roast, some burnt coffee, not getting much else
Taste - soft roast, coffee grounds, dab of chocolate, taste better than aroma, rather average, little dull
Palate - Medium carb, bit too fizzy, fairly bitter. Finish as main flavour, fairly bitter roast, burnt finish
Overall - Didn’t engage one much, doesn’t really suit keg, not a big fan of this
