Draught @ The Open Gate, Dublin. Aroma has grapefruit and some bush leaves. Flavour has grainy malt, some cereal and mild fruitiness. Finishes with mellow grapefruity hop bite. Clean and easy to drink but then again rather mellow and uninteresting.

Jet black with a foamy beige head, and a subtle aroma of roasted coffee and milk chocolate. The mouthfeel is creamy and velvety, offering up flavours of roasted malt and sweet, dark fruits, and a touch of spice, finishing with a slight, dry bitterness

Bottle from local ASDA. Coffee cream and roasted malts on the nose. Pours almost jet black with a very transient beige head. Taste is caramel and milk chocolate, with some maltsa in the background. Sweet and marmaladey at the finish. Reasonable, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

On draught at the Dublin airport. Clear golden-copper with sustained, fluffy head that patterns down glass. Mute citrus hop aroma. Flavor is slight fruit and a bit of caramel malt. Clean and not too bad.

Clear darkish amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, laced through with tangy toffee and twangy floral caramel. Bitterish spices. A vague medicinal feel. Smooth semi dry finish reveals a little candy fruit peel. Mildly spicy linger. Interesting and reasonably drinkable but this trad ale didn’t quite capture my heart.
