0,5 l on tap. Pours amber golden with medium, thick off white head. Aroma of diacetyl and soap, medicinal, a bit of malt and fruit in the back. Finish is metallic and medicinal. Really really bad glass.

Tap @ Porka Eva. Murky coppery, smaller and creamy offwhite head. Mild bready, biscuity nose, some caramel and slight cellar. Taste starts gently sweet, follows with mild bitterness and finishes with rustic cellar feel, even slightly soury perhaps. Light. Not bad, but not really Irish-like.

Bottle. Don't understand the underwhelming reviews, I find this a lovely dark lager. Very classic in a way, but with a really lovely malt profile, mild bitterness, dry finish and light hop. Good stuff.

On tap@ Easy Beer. Aroma is malty, ripe fruity and acetic. Pours hazy dark golden color with medium sized soapy white head and average sparkling appearance. Tastes light to medium sweet malty and sour citrusy with pungent sauerkraut, following is faint buttery, while finish is average herbal bitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Obviously infected…

Bottle for New Year's. Pitch black, solid, creamy beige head, lasting. Very nice dark chocolate and cocoa nose with lots of vanilla in the back. Taste starts with nice cocoa, a bit sweet, emdium bitterness and roasted finish, lasting and gentle. Full body, silky texture just a hint of warmth. Almost perfection.

Bottle. Pretty hazy, orange, glowing, offwhite head, pretty lasting and creamy. Nice hoppy nose, sweet fruity tones and citruses, some flowers in teh back. Medium bitterness, lots of coconut and vanilla, lasting aftertaste. Lighter body. Sharp with coconut character, not my favourite, a bit cloying as well. Ok.
