[1] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/19/2006 6:06:33 PM)
"As for appearance, I need not describe it. Pretty typical for a stout. For an Irish style dry stout, it's unusually powerful in flavor. The espesso flavor of the dark malt is strong and there are some underlying caramel flavors and aromas underneath. Since it isn't served on nitro it won't come across quite as creamy as Guinness, but it is more flavorful."
