Draught at Tadg’s. I’m quite sure this version was brewed in Japan at Shiga Kogen. Milky, spicey aroma with coriander, nutmeg, citrus and other fruits, Belgian yeast. Big and black with a nice fine tan head. Strong sour, citrus edge to the flavor, a bit too strong, with spices, roasty malts, chocolate, light raisins. Complex and interesting, though a bit weird, and could lose the citrus.

Draft at Bulldog. For some reason there was no head and little carbonation in the beer. Bull is usually good with this, but I guess this was an exception. Lots of dark fruit and roasted character. Reasonably well balanced. Hardly mind blowing, but enjoyable enough, nonetheless.

Draught at Tadg’s. Pretty, glowing black with a nice tan head. Lightly roasted aroma with coffee; dry and slightly creamy. Smooth, soft malts, nicely roasted, with coffee and dark chocolate in the mouth. Creamy, with some berries. Light body, but smooth and full. Nice fruity, berry-like edge. A good dry stout, not particularly special, but smooth and tasty.
