This full-bodied dry stout bottled in County Carlow, south-west of Dublin is based on an authentic recipe first introduced around 1740. Its taste was said to make grown men weep for more! Its unique blend of roasted malts, grains and bitter hops ensures a deliciously balanced and smooth flavor.

In my opinion, it is a decent irish stout, easy to drink, roasted malt, coffee, a bit watery, lovely black color, 28.10.16, at Prélaz, purchased at Paris.

Bottle. Black pour, beige to tanned head. Punchy roast malt aroma. Taste again very roasted with a burnt bitterness, coffee, semi sweet. There is a light fruity and hoppy finish and combined with a nice smooth mouthfeel it balances the beer more than I expected at first. Good.

50cl bottle pours a thick black, creamy beige head. Nose is bang on for the style, malt and some dark bread, caramel, some molasses, some oat. Flavor all the same with a little brown sugar. Creamy, chalky, just off dry finish. Absolutely bang on for the style. 7 5 7 5 13

Bottle Kinda heritage from my brother. Well beyond bb date. Still drinkable though. I would not call it full bodied. But it's fair enough.

Near opaque beer, decent head. Light aroma of toasty malt. Flavour has toasty malt, a little chocolate. A nutty hint. Not a lot else going on but honestly it's better than I expected. A very basic but drinkable stout here.
