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.

Tasted at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, chocolate and molasses. Decent to thin body with a biter finish.

Had the nitro version a few nights back: time for the CO2 version. An impenetrable one: completely black with tones of red around the edges. Pretty standard nose: dark malts, coffee, some vanilla. Well balanced taste: sweetness offset by bitterness with a good lingering finish. Coffee, burnt toast flavours. Well carbonated. Not that adventurous but could drink it all evening.

Pouring gives the familiar nitro / Guinness effect. Settles quicker than Guinness though with a larger 3cm head. Dark malts on the nose, slight cocoa notes, dark toasted bread. Lovely smooth head while drinking. A good bit more body and slightly sweeter than Guinness, oilier, thicker. Nice lingering medium bitterness. Darkly toasted bread taste. Lovely, great alternative.

Can from Kaufland Poljička, Split, shared with heavy. Very dark brown body, thick off-white head. Creamy aroma, raisins, chocolate, coffee, lightly toasty. Light, dry taste, bit roasty, bit toasty, bit yeasty somehow, empty... Okay at best really, but more drinkable than the Nitro Irish Red at least.

Közepes, tartós hab fekete szín. Enyhén medvecukros, kávés, csokis illat. Száraz, kávés, pörkölt malátás íz. Könnyű, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Kellemes, kissé a Guinnes-re hasonlító sör.

Can from the LCBO. Dark mahogany under a large foamy cage au lait coloured head that lingers and produces thick lace. Nose is coffee, dark chocolate, chalk, light vanilla and dark malts. Light sweet malt and a light+ coffee bitterness. Mouth is thinner than expected but still creamy with fine carbonation. 8-/5/7/3/15
