Handwritten notes: Oh, good, another stout. I guess in a way it is good because I can tell the difference between the few American Stouts I've had recently and this particular (Irish) stout. This stout is more smooth and less forthright. It asks permission to enter your stomach. All of the same choco-coff flavours are there, but with more of a mild and tinny delivery. Loverly.
