On tap at Messrs Maguire in Dublin. Pours an opaque, heavy looking black with a thick, creamy white head. No real carbonation. Aroma is suspiciously absent... slight roasted aroma if you search. Flavor is strong with a healthy dose of chocolate plus plenty of toast and grain. Creamy in the mouth. Great session beer and by far the best they had on tap while I was in.

On tap at Messrs Maguire in Dublin. Pours a slightly hazy amber, orange with a slim, lacing white head. Aroma is a little funky, grain and noble hops. Flavor is a little better, malty and sweet with no hint of the funk in the nose. Solid finish, easy to drink.
