The jewel in our crown was celebrated, many years in advance, by the prescient Jem Casey, Poet of the Pick and Bard of Booterstown, when he remarked that when “…no rashers grease your pan / A pint of plain is yer only man.” We agree and we’re not alone. Our Plain Porter – porter is a lighter version of stout – is a double gold medal winner. Its subtly aromatic, a silky, round mouthful with a touch of bitterness kicking in at the finish.

Flaska från SB. Aningen mörkare än cola, lågt beige skum. Fin rostad arom med mörkt bröd, lakrits, soja, kaffe, choklad, kex, lite blommigt och kanderat socker. Smaken är torrare och kärvare än vad doften och etiketten skvallrar om. Beskt kaffe, choklad men också en EKG-blommighet i bakgrunden och lätt syrlighet. Medelstor kropp och relativt stora smaker utan att bli tung. Trevlig.

Bottle. Opaque black liquid with medium to big brown head. Some lacing. Aroma of coffee, licorice, bread, toast, nuts, earth, toffee, flowery hops and dried fruit. Taste is dry to light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of bitter chocolate, bread, light metal, light ash and toast. Medium to full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Really thick bodied for the ABV. Quite standard Irish Dry Stout in total. Pretty enjoyable.
