On tap, half pint. Golden clear beer with a bubbly white head. Sparkling look, in fact this is a gassy one. Strange nose, not inviting. Aroma has some malts, corn and syrup, but lots of cork, chemical stuff and alcohol. Watery and carbonated body, poor stuff but and the booze came up incredibly quick.

[Bottle from around 1975. Multiple sources indicates that this beer is still occasionally brewed] Very dark brown, some surprising carbonation helps forming a smallish head. Coffee aroma. Medium sweet. Nicely malty. Dryish and dominated by really dark chocolate. Some oxidation is there, but the beer is surprisingly alive and really good after all these years.

[Draught at Connolly Station Irish Pub, Subiaco, Roma, Italy] Clear golden, creamy head. Sweetish with mellow mouthfeel and plenty of fruit alcohol. Syrupy finish with a touch of chemical bitterness.
