Nitro can (BB 07/2006)
Almost opaque, very dark ruby color, nice creamy tanned head (from nitro can). Chocolaty nose, some hints of vegetables - propably coming from process to lower ABV. Watery, weak roast, more chocolaty and sweeter than Guinness.

Big, tan, creamy head over black opaque body. Lots of creamy carbonation in the body that slowly settles into the head, sharply dividing the beer into black body and tan head. Aroma is relatively faint, consisting mostly of roasty maltiness and some metal with some hints of toffee-like sweetness. Taste is deep, roasty treacle leading into a sharply dry finish, which is very bitter, with notes of steel. A good stout, if somewhat light and watery. Overall, it’s perhaps a bit brutal without really offering enough in return for the brutality. (0.5l can in glass.)

An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is malty combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and hints of berries, leading to a dry roasted end.

(bottle) Clear to red to bronze colour with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweetish malty aroma, bittersweet flavour and a slightly dry and hoppy finish. Not overwhelming.

By far the most common "red" here. Quite sweet with taste of caramel and nuts. An enjoyable beer overall but tends to get boring as years go by.
