Opened this for St. Patrick’s Day and the pour was nearly black, with a thick tan head that lingered. The 9% strength is there but not harsh—it drinks smoother than the ABV suggests, perfect for slow sipping on a cold evening.

Poured it at cellar temp with zero hesitation—that 9% kick warms you up slowly while the dark roasted depth stays smooth all the way down. Perfect excuse to skip the green beer this year.

Opened it expecting a standard stout and got hit with that deep 9% warmth right away. The double version really does hide its strength behind a smooth, dark body, so the bottle goes down faster than you’d think. Solid pick for the holiday, just wish it came in bigger bottles.
