The beer pours a solid black colour with a nice creamy head that leaves some good lacing. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is typical of an Irish Stout, dry roasted grains with a hint of coffee and little bit of a spicy finish.

500 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original O'Hara's english tulip pint an unfiltered and opaque absolutly black coloured Stout with a generous two fingers tan and dense creamy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles and some bigger one. Soft carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is strong dark chocolate associated with heavy roasted coffee beans, roasted malts and caramel tones. The flavour is extrem burned coffee beans, black chocolate, spicy, a touch of pepper and licorice, ashes, roasted malts, smokey notes and a real bitterness. The mouthfeel is creamy, thick, fulled and very smouth. This full bodied Stout has a lingering high bitter and roasted finish. A quite impressive and tasty Stout.

What's the matter, Craig?

What does it say on this jar?

"Craig."

Well I'm glad someone around here can read. The jar holds fourteen pickles. I had three yesterday, two for lunch today, and one and a half for snack. And now there are six and a half pickles in this jar. Simple math indicates...

Are you counting the one in your hand?

Ok, false alarm.
