A group of enterprising brewers on a quest to explore new recipes reinterpret old ones and collaborate freely to bring exciting beers to life.
Dublin Porter is inspired by a reference in our historic brewers' diaries dating back to 1796. It is a sweet and smooth beer with subtle caramel and hoppy aroma notes and a burnt biscuit finish.

Bottle: Pours deep ruby-brown with a thick, oatmeal-tan head. Chocolate, cola aroma. Flavour is light chocolate malt, dry caramel malt.... Light......but very pleasant and easy to drink...... Very nice taste.

Bottle sent for my review. This comes across more as a credible ancestor of the Guinness Stout that we all know today. It is a little lighter in the malt roast than the West Indies Porter in the same package. Not the same molasses on the tongue, but light on the palate with a nice dry finish. I imagine I’ve caught just a little sting of the sourness that they add to Guinness Stout today. Might be interesting to find in a cask pour than stuffed with carbonation. I suspect a real beer from that period would still be pretty smoky and a bit more sour.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Guinness Dublin Porter (by St. James's Gate (Diageo)):
Aroma: 5/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.3/5
13/V/16 - 50cl bottle from Albert Heijn (Gent) @ home, metal beer and music tasting - BB: 11/IX/16 (2016-526)
Note: tasted at the metal beer and music tasting, where every beer was sampled while the according music played at volume 10. :p This beer had nothing to do with the rest of the tasting, other than that we needed something at least half decent to wash away the dirty infected beer that was Kataklysm and this was laying around in my fridge.
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, roasted, caramel, cow fodder, sweet wort. MF: ok carobn, light body. Taste: bit sourish, roasted, pretty bitter hops, grains, malty. Aftertaste: soft roast, bitter, sourish touch, some cow fodder. Well, at least it did wash away the infection in our mouth.

500 ml. bottle from Albert Heijn shared @ Gollem. I am not a fan of Guinness but as a lower ABV Guinness this beer really does the trick, good for whoever was in need of that. Better than expected but yeah it is still Guinness, this feels rather artificial with a strong sparkling water feel. Appears to pour black but the lightning wasn’t that good, little mocha head. Nose is very artificial mocha, herbal, low ashes, artificial cacao. Thin bodied & fizzy, artificial qualities, lots of sparkling water feel to it with a herbal artificial coffee taste, powdery, cacao powder. Drinks acceptable but more in the fashion that I do not mind it all that much.
