It’s impossible not thinking of Ireland while drinking a stout! So our beer has been completely dedicated to Ireland, in particular to one of the most beautiful and appealing spot of the Emerald Isle: Aran Islands. This beer is our interpretation of the classic “Irish Style”. Color (of course) is dark and inscrutable. Foam has nutty glares and it’s thick and foamy. On the nose stand out notes of coffee, roasted barley, cocoa beans and caramel. On the mouth is silky, with a good complexity and the sweetness of malts has been elevated at the top.

Draught @ 4:20, Rome. Aroma is very mild with some roasted tones. Flavour has milky tones, some roastiness, cold coffee and toffee. Also some ash. Too milky for my taste.

Draft sample @ Birra Expo’14 Piacenza. Brune foncée, col fin café au lait. Arôme est malté et grillé, sur un café arrivant en rétro. Le grillé ressort vraiment bien et donne un bouquet somptueux à cette bière. Palais offre également sa dose de malt avec un grillé et foncé dominant sur une pointe de café. Le tout garde une inspiration très irlandaise, profil sec sur note de grains perdurant. L’amertume venant des houblons reste discrète et dans un style noble UK de EKG voire Fuggle. Simple et légère avec un café qui se distingue bien.

Black color with small head. The aroma of roasted malts reminds me of cereals, hay fields, cream, maybe manure; it has a strong and very pleasant grainy character. Smooth mouthfeel, dry, with roasted malt flavor, some coffee, monotonous; correct bitterness; the acidity from the dark malts is rather high, evident mostly in the final.
Not my favorite style, too roasty and ashy, but well brewed, and with interesting aroma.
