Bottled(500ml). -My first irish wheat beer. Very interesting but not so enjoyable. Clear golden, small head, stale wine nose. Aroma is malty, hoppy and slight wheaty with fresh fruity (lemon, banana, peach) notes. Lively carbonation with some sourness in the finish.

Bottle (as Molings) picked this up for 99p at the ’Dodgy Deli’ on the Cowley Road 20-09-06. Poursa reddy/brown colour with a lively thick head that went everywhere, very lively carbonated beer. The aroma was a bit sweetish, the taste was of toasted malt and some caramel it had a bit of an edge with bitterness but wasn’t a beer that I would rush out to but again.

Poured a deep black with a whispy white head. Roasted aroma with malty notes. Initial flavor is smokey, but not overwhelming, with the roasted barley coming through on the tongue. Clean, slighty acidic after taste. Nice stout.

11 oz or so bottle. Nothing really special about this stout. Not bad, but not spectacular. A bit creamy, with a little bit of sour taste. Deffinately not worth the price I paid for it.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large brown head. The aroma is vaguely skunky with a sour tang. The mouthfeel is rather thin for a stout. The flavor is roasted malts and a sharp bitterness. Not very good.
