From a can. Pours a cloudy copper color with a half inch of beige head. Smells of roasted malt and brown sugar. Medium body and a creamy feel. Roasted malt flavors with a moderately bitter finish. Very nice, the creamy feel reminds me of red ales I've had on tap.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance - The beer is served deep crimson red color with a tiny white head. The head fades fast to leave bit of leave on the sides of the glass.
Smell -The aroma is heaviest of a roasted malt smell mixed with a descent showing caramel and a bit of toast and roast.
Taste - The taste begins with a nice caramel and roasted and toasted malt with a little bit of herb and molasses. As the taste advanced a touch of toast and some light earth comes to the tongue to leave one with moderately toasty and toasty taste in the mouth.
Mouthfeel - The body of the brew is medium in thickness and has a carbonation level that is normal. Good and easy drinking for the style
Overall- A decent red with a good flavor.

Surprisingly good beer! One of the best Irish reds I have had. Poured a deep reddish brown with a thick foamy head and great lacing. Fragrant almost roses smell. Taste is toasted malt and warm spice. A feel good beer. Will buy again.

This is a great full flavoredl beer. It is well balanced, although it leans towards the carmel malts. There is a bit of a spiced cream flavor. It leaves a delicious lingering beer flavor with a hint of warm alcohol.

Pours a transparent reddish amber. Mildly sweet aroma. Pleasant flavor except for the hops, which are a little too assertive. Somewhat citrusy but tending toward grapefruit, which I tend to avoid. Light bodied and smooth with a refreshing feel. Agreeable aftertaste despite the hops being somewhat out of balance. Good but not quite as enjoyable as Shannon's stout or cream ale.
