My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
15.5 points overall

Genuine Pub Draught Irish Stout (canned)
Style 11 - Stout
- 15.5 points - Beer #17-1340, Moloka`i Wines and Spirits Unlimited, Kaunakakai HI, March 2, 1996
  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.
Irish Amber (bottled)
Style 5 - English-style Pale Ale
- 14 points - Beer #26-2129, The Liquor Collection, Honolulu HI, August 11, 1997
  Golden brown, moderate carbonation, good white head. Sweet aroma, some diacetyl. Sweet, some hop flavor, some diacetyl.
Irish Stout (bottled)
Style 11 - Stout
- 16 points - Beer #24-1999, Kona Wine Market, Kailua-Kona HI, January 12, 1997
  "Draughtflow System" bottle. Almost black, dense white head. Smells sweet and black. Tastes black and bitter. OK body, some carbonation. Bitter black malt finish fades fairly fast.
Irish Stout
Style 11 - Stout
- 17 points - Beer #9-667, The HopYard, Pleasanton CA, December 28, 1994
  Very dark red. Huge dense black head. Coffee aroma. Smooth. Flavors similar to Guinness, but not as pronounced. Sweeter.
- Beer #31-2514, Lyon's Brewery, Dublin CA, September 28, 1992
  Holy cow is this stuff smooth. A-Mazing!
