Rating added 1/30/2006Very dark red color, almost so that you can’t see through it. Some iron in the smell, a faint acid taste but also a bit burnt in it. Not among the best stouts I’ve had.4/3/4/3/9=2.3

Pours dark ruby with a lasting tan head. Slightly smoked (bacon?) roasted malt nose not a lot of chocolate or coffee. Not overly dominating in mouth, with some very roasted burnt cereal with some chocolate. Finish is dryish with more burntness. Not bad, but not one of the best stout

A surprisingly complex beer at the top of its style. Aromas of chocolate and coffee, some smoke, and teriyaki, and port.. Black with a large tan head. Multi dimensional flavor, smokey peat,, port. Heavy palate but easy to drink.

Pour is black with a small tan head. Wow! Nice burnt roasty aroma. Flavor is a bitter burnt with a strong coffee aftertaste. A pleasing brew for all the senses.

(Bottle 50 cl) Called "Molings Traditional Celtic Beer" in my version. Mahogany in colour with a reddish tint and a rather stable, light brown head. Sweetish and malty with notes of caramel and smoke. Very pleasant Irish ale. 200304

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey golden, slightly hazy with a fine, creamy but rather small head. Hasn’t got the fruity esters as in German and Belgian wheats. In fact this beer has incredibly little flavour. Soft wheaty notes but neither aroma, nor palate. No bitterness either. Not unpleasant just thin, thin, thin... 160103
