Pours nice...just like Pub Draught Guinness (17-1341). EXTREMELY dark red, thick off-white head. Smoky aroma, with vague licorice hints. Pretty thick...pretty cold, per the directions on the can. Some black flavors and a bit of sweetness, but it's too cold to taste much else. (You expect me to sit here and not drink it while it warms up?) Nice smoky finish. Licorice flavor shows up as the beer warms.
