[1] Review by YumBeer from Edgewater, NJ, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/19/2007 4:45:32 PM)
"A dark colored bodied Irish style stout with a creamy head and delicious roasted flavor. Very malty and somewhat bitter but not as dry like other non-oatmeal stouts. Very delicious and worth seeking out."

"An excellent interpretation of a dry Irish stout. So much so, that I thought I was drinking a Guinness. Only O'Reilly's was a little bit drier with a noticeable semi-hop character. Good thick solid black hue, nice foamy tan cap on top, and big burnt roasted malt character make this micro a pleasure to drink. I must say that it was a little bit more harsh than Guinness, but is still a very drinkable brew.

"08.03.05 Tap at JP Mac Grady’s. Near black, thin appearance, medium head fades to a ring. No lace. Aroma is light peat, mild coffee, burnt toast (white). Dry, leathery, raw peat, toasty grain. Pretty bland, but not a bad refresher. This was not served on nitro."

"Wowsers, the head was huge and lasted for a LONG time. The color was pitch black. The lacing was almost continuous, the best continuous blanket left on any glass I’ve ever had. The aroma was hard to pick up outside of roasted malts. The flavor was of burnt and lightly bitter coffee. The aftertaste was somewhat wood-like with coffee. The finish was dry and the mouthfeel smooth. A nice dry stout, but I’ll still take a fresh Guinness over this one."
