Thin creamy offwhite everlasting head. Body is reddish brown. Light aroma, mostly malty with peppery hops. Watery metallic malty taste with a dry mealy edge. Roasty grainy aftertaste, quite long. Peppery hops. Nice, but not their best. (0.2l draft, Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin.)

Thin white film of a head. Yellow body. Dry grassy malty aroma with an underlying sweetness and resiny, mealy notes. Very dry grassy straw taste lingers. Grainy notes, chalk, a little rubber. Nice, not entirely typical. (0.2l draft, Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin.)

Medium creamy beige everlasting head. Opaque black body goes dark red at edges. Burnt milky caramelly aroma. Dry burnt coffee and grain taste with milky licorice notes. Burnt almonds and caramel also in evidence. Peppery aftertaste. Very nice and drinkable dry stout. Pretty uncompromising. (0.3l draft at Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin.)

Medium creamy shiny deep offwhite everlasting head. Excellent cling. Deep dark red-brown translucent body. Intense perfumy milky dark chocolate aroma with vanilla notes. Dry-and-sweet vanilla and chocolate pudding taste with a dry, powdery feel to it. Harmonic and balanced. Long aftertaste, very distinct and clear. Not very complex, but still has more than enough to interest. Very nice, but definitely not a session beer. (0.2l draft, Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin.)

Small white head. Very pale yellow body with carbonation. Hardly any aroma. Light dry-sweet fruity malty mealy taste with citric notes. Very light and mild, but still good. Light spicy notes. Aftertaste is reasonably long. A good beer, even if it is very light. (0.2l draft at Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin.)

Small white creamy head makes a sharp line against warm chestnut brown body. Fruity caramelly burnt almond aroma with peppery spicy hops. Dry-sweet resiny wooden roasty taste with earthy, nutty, metallic notes. A bit watery. Long aftertaste. Nice, and impressive taste for the amount of alcohol. Excellent session beer.
