True to it’s name, “Leann Folláin” being the Gaelic for “wholesome stout”, our full-bodied extra Irish stout is a fantastic example of how good stout can taste. Flavours of dark chocolate tones with a hint of vanilla combine with the mild mocha aroma. Opaque black in appearance with a tan head, this luxurious stout has a classic European hop bitterness giving a refreshing bite after the chocolate subsides.

Drinking this bottle, two days ago, at Epalinges, after a long day at the swimming pool. Rich stout, one of the best beer of this brewery that I have tried, roasted malt, coffee, side of liquorice rather discreer, chocolate and touch of hop at the final, 13.08.20, purchased at Amstein.

Deep brown to black with a tall tan head. Nice roasted malts, chocolate, a hint of molasses, slight earth, a touch of vanilla. Medium bodied. Finish has roasted malts and a slightly sweet vanilla backdrop. This is an easy going yet full flavored Irish stout. Highly enjoyable.

Clear brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: sweet impression, lots of ripe to overripe banana, caramel, toffee, fudge. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet up front, malty, caramel, bitter touch, grains, some bitter hops. Aftertaste: dry, good roast, hoppy, gains, hay, cow fodder. Decent, not great.

Aroma dominated by coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Fine-bubble foam. Dark brown, opaque. Full body, low carbonation. Sweetness is medium, well-balanced with a nice bitterness. Intensity of taste is high. Notes of roasted, dark chocolate, coffee, liquorice, dried fruit and vanilla. Alcohol well hidden.
