Tapped. Dark brown (close to black) with huge brown foamy head. Mainly smoky aroma with small soapish tone. Flavour is smoky with hints of rye bread. Good palate and wellbalanced taste. 6 4 6 4 13.
Nitro Can. (re-rate due to the 10th anniversary of 2Pac on RateBeer). Very deep rubyish black colour with a mediumsized white head. Mild smoked wood, some slight roasted malts as well as mild ashes. Flavour is ashes, mild roasted notes with some rye and mild creamy notes. Quite a thick palate, though not too strong flavour. 6 4 6 4 13. Nice to see that the points given a long time ago are still the same on this one.

Bottle: Poured a brown color beer with a nice medium head with above standard retention for a lager. Aroma comprised some malt and hops with some floral aspect. Taste is kind of sweet with some nice malt in the background. Bitterness is kind of sweet but a bit too shy for my liking. Overall, this is a decent drink and a lot better then your average macro lager out there.

Deep red copper ale with moka head. Intense aroma of sugar, with maderization. Deep chocolate and molasses and alcohol warmth, nice hops in finish. Rich in mouth, effervescent. Very different from the regular canned stuff. Un gros merci a Dumdum!

I have had this one a couple of times but never been particularly impressed.+++ Sampled on draft this beer pours a light mahogany color with a medium sized white head that left great lacing. The aroma is light, bitter a bit woody and mildly hoppy. The flavor is generally mild and lightly malty on the front, followed by a nutty and woody element and then ends sharp and bitter. A pretty basic beer really.

"Draught" can. Copper colour. Beautiful, creamy, white head. Slightly bitter, not much taste to it. Mouthfeel is creamy, but too flat for my liking.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a little lighter brown glow near the bottom and a dense thick, light brown head that tops the beer nicely. Aroma of oak, vanilla (strong), malt, cardboard, yeast and a little bit of lighter chocolate. Medium-bodied; Mellow malty flavour with caramel, cereal, yeast, toffee, rye and a little dry oak near the finish. Aftertaste shows mostly malty tones with a little oak, a ton of vanilla and a good lingering sweetness. Overall, a nice beer - well worth the wait and nice to finally sample. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, [Republic of] Ireland on 19-February-2009 sampled on 10-March-2011. The dates on the bottle read: 15-October-2009 11:02 at 7.5% abv, obviously made here in Dublin.

This is a nice stout. Smelled a bit wine like. Lookes quite nice, with a black "body" and a fine brownish head. Has a persistent coffee taste with some hints of chocolate barely showing through.
