22oz bottle split at a Pittsburgh tasting. Big thanks to thebouch01 for providing this!

A - Pours a chocolate brown with about a finger's worth of tan head. Some decent retention giving the rather low amount of head, with some spattered lacing around the glass.

S - The smell is a bit of a drawback for me. It is full of a nice roast and an almost milk chocolate note, but there's a strong metallic note that keeps it from being overly enjoyably.

T - As in the nose, the metal is back here, though not as strongly. The overall flavors are pretty solid, encompassing a slight roast, cocoa, a bit of chocolate, and a faint amount of hops. However, although it has these notes, they are pretty faint throughout and neither make a strong case to be the focus.

M - Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with good carbonation. Smooth, full-bodied, and an easy-drinker.

D/O - Drinkability is moderate. The base characteristics of this beer are all solid and promising, but there are some things that keep it from reaching excellence. The metallic notes are one thing, as well as the rather weak flavors in the taste.

mmm absolutely delicious!! I was very blown away by this beer, I think its a perfect example of how wonderful Irish Dry Stouts can be. This is definitely NOT a Guinness!

Appearance - smooth, black with almost a grey-white head. The way I would describe this beer is like calm black water on a moonless night.

Smell - clear roasted maltiness, not overpowering at all.

Taste - Beautifully creamy yet not rich, extremely smooth and palatable. I finished the first bottle in less than 15 minutes because I could not stop filling my mouth with it.

Mouthfeel - wet, smooth and sooo drinkable.

Overall - Get this beer. Seriously.

A hard pour yields a thin creamy tan head which quickly recedes to a skim and a ring, atop an opaque black body.

Scent is leafy tobacco, cold bitter coffee, roasted and a leche flan note. Hint of peat smoke.

Taste is coffee dusted with cocoa. caramel. peat smoke. roasted and charred flavors. a hint of vanilla. very dry. mildly bitter with some leafy hop notes.

Mouth is a chalky medium.

I've been meaning to try this stout for years now and I finally found a bottle of it. Blurs the lines of the Irish Dry Stout style certainly but I did enjoy it. Would buy again.

This is my first trade "extra" from Travdawg. Thanks, man!

Violently poured into a Capital Brewery tulip.

Black ass beer. No light penetration at all. The head is a cream tan color that drops off to an eighth of an inch.

It smells like a malty black ale with a tiny brown sugar hint.

Loads of malt and some molasses. It's delicious.

12oz bottle. Pours a pitch black color with virtually no head. The aroma is earthy and booze with hints of chocolate. Minimal lacing.Tastes booze and earthy with some hints of dark cherries and bitter dark chocolate. Coffee grounds as well. Slightly floral aftertaste. Light mouthfeel with little carbonation. Very drinkable. This seems like a great summer stout. Overall, pretty good beer I'd grab every so often.
