I always see the train on this label and get excited. Really, this is not one of my favorite stouts. I can't quite place why, it just doesn't tickle my taste buds the way I want it too. I just burped a bit and it was a bit alcohol-ey, not beery. The smell is just a bit off for me too. Maybe it's a bit more bitter than I would like a stout to be. And it sounds strange, but the smell and taste don't match to me. That makes for a strange drinking experience. Maybe it's the fact it's an "Irish Dry Stout" by style - maybe those just aren't for me.
Beer Advocate kind of disagrees with me.
North Coast calls this a Dublin Dry Stout.
