"On nitro tap at Sly Fox Brewery (in Royersford) into a standard pint glass. Poured a with a creamy one-finger head which settled to creamy off-white coating. Lacing was abundant and lasting. Nose was some chocolate, roasted malts and coffee. Taste was dry and moderately bitter, heavy roasted malts, grain some chocolate, and burnt coffee. Mouthfeel was light, very creamy and well-carbonated. I can’t remember the last time I had a beer that was 3.6% ABV but clearly you could down a few of these without damage. A decent offering but nothing I would go out of my way to have again."

"A dark colored bodied Irish style stout with a creamy head and delicious roasted flavor. Very malty and somewhat bitter but not as dry like other non-oatmeal stouts. Very delicious and worth seeking out."

"An excellent interpretation of a dry Irish stout. So much so, that I thought I was drinking a Guinness. Only O'Reilly's was a little bit drier with a noticeable semi-hop character. Good thick solid black hue, nice foamy tan cap on top, and big burnt roasted malt character make this micro a pleasure to drink. I must say that it was a little bit more harsh than Guinness, but is still a very drinkable brew.

"08.03.05 Tap at JP Mac Grady’s. Near black, thin appearance, medium head fades to a ring. No lace. Aroma is light peat, mild coffee, burnt toast (white). Dry, leathery, raw peat, toasty grain. Pretty bland, but not a bad refresher. This was not served on nitro."
