Tap at the bar. Off white creamy head. Brownish red color. Caramel aroma. Complex and smooth taste. Bready finish. Moderately present hops are there. Maltiness enough for all as well. Really well balanced beer in my opinion. My father’s favorite beer in Ireland.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol March 2007. Near black with a decent beige head. Aromas of dark fruit, roast malt and plain chocolate. More chocolate in the flavour before a long, dry roasted finish. Very good.
