0,5 l on tap. Pours almost black with medium tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some caramel and chocolate. Taste is medium sweet and just bitter enough. Finish is medium long, roasty and pleasantly bitter. Easy drinker and quite nice overall.

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.
