A very dark brown beer with a very fine light brown head. It has a fine aroma of roasted malt. And a very smooth feel in the mouth with the aroma of the roasted malt. A very filling but at the same time very drinkable beer.

A very beutiful beer with a red color and good foam. It has a hoppy bitternes, but don't have any sweetnes to compensate. It has almost no aroma. All in all an OK beer.

Draft can. Cappucino colored head. Brown body. Initial sip was medium roast coffee with some earthy/root notes. Finished with a nice hop flavor but had some flat hop notes that seemed unbalanced. Upon further drinking became very thin and had a dry, bitter hop flavor, not overly complex as it finishes, though as it warmed, some fruity notes came out. Still retained a dull mildly mossy hop taste to the end.

Ah the imposter. It’s like they tried to brew guinness and had to change a few things so as not to brew the exact replica. Thinner, and has more rooty/earthy notes. It’s good, of course, just not very original.

Likely a final re-rate, finally comfortable with my assessment of this subtle and mostly unremarkable dry stout, nitro'd from a draught can, sampled slowly starting at 50 deg F from a nonic style pint glass. Pours near opaque dark brown with expected inch of beige heavy foam, rising cascade of tiny bubbles. Eventually settles into near black liquid with a well defined beige layer above. Aroma is mild but enticing, appetizing, even refreshing, with light roast, light chocolate, light caramel, perhaps a twinge of woody or herbal hops. Palate is creamy, thin and light, like velvety water. Dominant initial flavor is deeply and unmistakeably smoky, which gives way to a soft, dry finish. Lingering smoke and caramel. After a time, my palate adapted to the smokiness, leaving very little in the remaining flavor...barest hint of chocolate, perhaps weak, cold coffee.

Smoother than Guinness, very drinkable. A stout recommended for beginners. Rerate: ...which doesn’t in any way imply that Beamish hasn’t a lot to offer the experienced stout drinker as well. Aroma is better than Guinness, and the flavour is very nice too. I simply suggested that the prejudiced anti-stout drinker might find out that he/she actually likes it.
