I tasted this blind along with four other Irish pours. This was next to last. The IPA finished seemed very flat with very little of anything. This Stout finished had more personality and more flavors. Some of these flavors I didn't care for, but there was at least something to taste and analyze. Not bad, but I would not waste time or resources drinking either of these. N - Light acetone, light baking spice. P - Sour apples, spicy heat, licorice candy, with a bit of butternut. F - Short and a bit harsh with some off-notes.
