Draught in Brewdock. Clean gold with a short head. Aroma is fruity hop. Flavour is chewy fruit, spicy on the lips, dry building to a quite intense bitter finish. Clean fruit, bitterness just on the right side of reasonable.

Draught at Brew Dock. Deep black with a coffee head. Aroma is smoky malt. Flavour is quite smokey, a little sweet strain running through it finishing on a long dry burnt roast bitter finish.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [120414]
Copper amber, slight haze, frothy dense off white head, some lacing
Aroma - brown toasted malts, slight red berry fruits
Taste of toasted malts, some caramel malts, dab of bitter zest hops under the brown malts, slight hint of berry fruits, some brown bread crust, bit earthy, brown leaves
Palate - medium carb, thin to medium body, soft mouthfeel, soft sweet malts, fairly bitter. Finish is more bitter, toasted malt and bitter spicy hop linger
Overall - A standard bitter ale, the least impressive of the Galway Bay beers I’ve tried. Not too bad.

Old Stormy Port plus a little bit extra in every way. Thicker, blacker, denser aroma, more complex flavor, longer finish. Chocolate, coffee, dark ripe fruit, vanilla, some smoked malt flavor as well. Deserves recognition.

Bought two bottles from Malloy’s and discovered that one was the 4.8% variety. Pours a thick dark brown with a medium to small tan head that left fairly good lacing on the pint glass. Nice inviting aroma of toasted brown bread, some vanilla, milk chocolate, freshly brewed coffee. Taste is very similar to the aroma with a nice dry chalky mouthfeel.

BBE Mar/05/2015, LOT 059
The beer starts smooth and creamy. Roasted chocolate in the mainpart, slightly toffee-sweet. The aftertaste is smooth, chocolate with hints of espresso, nicely smooth roasted. In the last end there is a nice bitterness, that harmonises ideal with the rest of the roasted chocolate-flavour.
Very nice Sweet Stout! --> 13/13/14/14
