Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Dark red color, big creamy tan nitro head. Burnt wood, little roast and a familiar sweet caramel note in the nose. Body is caramelly sweet with a touch of piney hops. Finishes thin and lightly roasty. The widget doesnt do this beer any justice, a bit disgustingly sweet for me.
UPDATED: MAR 18, 2005 Tasted in the Irish Stout Vertical on St Pattys Day 05Nice roast levels with some creamy lactose. The flavor is light due to the nitro but its noticably more robust than guinness draught (not the carbonated extra however).Rerate from a 3.3 overall.
A dark/black beer with a fine very long lasting head. Not much aroma but hints of smoked malt. The flavor though is fantastic, it is smooth with notes of smoke, chocolate and tar - a fantastic stout taste. This is one of my favorite stouts.
