The flagship of the O’Hara’s brand, this uniquely Irish stout brings one back to how Irish stouts used to taste. First brewed in 1999, it has since been awarded prestigious honours for its quality and authenticity. O’Hara’s Irish Stout has a robust roast flavour complemented by a full-bodied and smooth mouth feel. The generous addition of Fuggle hops lends a tart bitterness to the dry espresso-like finish.

Aromas are dark malt, molasses, toast, coffee and bitter chocolate. Flavors are similar to nose with excellent balance between bitter and sweet with the soft creamy mouth. Pretty good.

Color negro con reflejos castaño, opaca, preciosa corona de espuma muy cremosa y densa, de excelente retención y gran residuo. Aroma con un buen fondo de café y lúpulo, notas de levadura y resina...es una aroma que empieza bastante discreto, pero que mejora bastante con el atemperado. En boca trago rico y sedoso, notas tostadas, café, chocolate y un desfile de lúpulo que deja un más que rico ramalazo resinoso en el paladar. Muy buena cerveza!

A fair stout, generous notes of roasted malt, dry coffee, mineral, dry hop at the final. Good relation price and quality with a beautiful black color, a stout light and aromatic, also pleasant during hot weather.

Can from Drinkmonger (2024) and Lupe Pintos (2026). Black body with ruby highlights and a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of charred wood, cocoa, dark chocolate and biscuit. Flavour of chocolate and vanilla with a bitter finish. Medium to full body with creamy mouthfeel. Gentle fizz. This is very tasty. I’d like to try a blind side-by-side tasting with Guinness as I think this would come out on top.

Near black with a tall, foamy tan head. Roasted malts, coffee, bittersweet cocoa, light earth, a touch of burnt malts. Medium bodied and a touch chalky. Finish has a dry and sharp snap. Very nice.
