[1] Review by Ackman from Nantucket, MA, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/14/2008 11:59:17 AM)
"A stout from AB. Never thought this would happen...ever. The flavor is what killed it, and killed it really bad. Very grainy. This doesn't even look like a stout, with its almost red color. I thought all stouts were black, I guess not."

"I am normally partial to stouts and porters, but this is an exception. It looks nice coming out of the keg (had this at the Mensa AG in Denver), dark sable-brown with a decent head. Aroma, however, is rather weak, albeit typical of a stout. Flavor is rather insipid - it tastes like watered-down coffee with just a little bit of an alcohol zing. Texture is smooth but lifeless. Forget this one."

[3] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/5/2008 9:40:41 PM)
"I sampled this beer on an Anheuser-Busch tour about 2 1/2 years ago, when I believe it was just coming out. So that's my disclaimer; it was a while ago, right at the plant, early in it's existance and I was on a beer tour (and thus in a good mood). I recall it being very much like Guinness but a touch thinner on the mouthfeel. Everything was just a little bit watered down when comparing to Guinness but it wasn't bad at all. I actually enjoyed it. Decent coffee presence, some malts and a hint of dark chocolate. Wasn't as dark as Guinness, more of like a dark brown but they did have some similarities. Also mine had a pretty decent sized creamy head but that could be because it was forced draught at Anheuser-Busch. "

[4] Review by Chef Chad from Grand Junction, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/7/2007 1:04:22 AM)
"It was not as dark as most stouts and not as creamy. Maybe it would bennifit from a nitro pour or something. Flavors was ok. A bit bitter on the back end and not very smooth."

"I really did not like this much. Guinness is ten times better. It poured a dark tan. The head was minimal. I was told that it was a new keg, but it was off. It had flatness to it. It was pretty rough going down unlike a creamy Guinness."
