Had this at an Irish pub in Toronto. Was hoping for a pint of Murphy's Irish Stout, but they were out of it, so decided to go with Caffrey's. Pours a clear amber colour. A finger of nitro-assisted white head is there and doesn't dissipate at all. Some very mild lacing. Some floral hops with a lot of caramel in the smell. Flavour actually has more bitterness than I remember, some sweetness as well. Creamy mouthfeel from the nitro. This is an ok beer, nothing special though.

When this was marketed in the USA it was a refreshing, delightful ale! One that I enjoyed greatly, since it is now gone in the USA and has been for years, I have not had the pleasure to drink it. Creamy and rich with a great taste, perfect foamy head and beautiful color. I would love to have it again someday!

Pours a finger of head on a hazy darker straw body.
The aroma is a nice grain and milk smell.
The taste is simple and unoffensive, mild dark fruits and mild bitterness.
The texture is smooth and soft.
An easy drinking ale.
