It is a good stout. Mine was served almost room temperature. The head was less than a quarter inch and very much looking like a porter. Two in our group ordered this and both of ours was on the warm side.

This beer is a very dark brown with a slight tan head that leaves little lacing. It very much resembles a dry stout, though head and lacing are unimpressive.
The nose is light, dry with a bit of roast and a touch of chocolate.
The taste is very similar, dry but lightly sweet and lightly hopped. A little bit of chocolate comes in underneath, and there's an underlying nuttiness through the sip.
This is a smooth beer with a lighter body for the style and definitely leaning dry. It wasn't until I was convinced it had to be a dry Irish or very much like it that I asked, and it was confirmed. As such, it's a good example of the style and easy to knock back several of in a session.
