Probably one of the best beers ever to come out of a nitro-can. As far as appearances go, it goes out a nice, impressively murky dark-brown, from which little light seems to escape. Head isn't big, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in smooth, nitro blended creamyness.
Smells just fine, and tastes nice and toasty. A good, solid stout backed up by a striking smoothness. Perhaps not as heavy as a few other stouts I've tried, the taste has a good, strong, burnt chocolate edge to it.
Nice and cheap too, one of the better stouts you can get at this price. Definately worth a try.

Keg. Almost black with a thick creamy head.
Robust aroma of charred toast and liquorice. Quite jarring.
Dark chocolate comes through upon tasting.
Quite thin but smooth nevertheless.
The forced dispensation does not do it any favours.

From Labirratorium. In Ikea's pint glass. Playing 12 Labors of Hercules 2. Pleasant soft coffee roastyness in both aroma and taste, with a good smooth feeling. Highly drinkable but I prefer the fuller's one.

Drier than I expected, this is definitely a dry stout all the way. I figured, why have a Guinness when there are lesser known beers to be tried? Similar in taste, but not quite as commonly available. Very big foamy head, some chocolate taste but not overpowered by it. Decent balance, though not my favorite type of stout.

On nitro in London. Creamy tan head. Lace. Color is near black.
Taste has a bitter chocolate flavor to it and has an off flavor that is slightly medicinal that I don't like.
Roasted malts. Fairly smooth and creamy.
