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.

Pours almost pitch black with one finger and a half of light brown head that shows good enough retention and lacing. Aroma is mainly chocolate, with hints of coffee and vanilla. There's a soft base, kinda freshly soft actually, in the aroma, but i can't really pick up a specific note. Overall a clean and quite intense aroma, though not very deep. Taste is very straightforward too: a light underlying base of mixed caramel and cola, rather strong chocolate note, hints of vanilla. Perfectly clean and wonderfully balanced in terms of sweetness/bitterness, with neither standing out in both taste and aftertaste. Again, not much depth. Medium bodied, with light fine-bubbled carbonation; a very nice silky-soft mouthfeel. This is not very impressive tastewise, but it's very well made and superbly balanced. A very good stout in it's relative simplicity.

Black with a medium light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and cocoa. Sweet with a roasted malt, chocolate and slightly dried fruit sense at the end. Medium/full body, I like.

I found this on Rakuten for about 3-400¥: O’hara’s Leann Follain Extra Irish Stout 6% Deep black with a creamy topping of foam and a semi-sweet roasty aroma featuring cacao and the smooth full velvety body is a treat with roasted oats and cacao with some sweetness to balance things out. Looking forward to trying the others I bought.

13-03-21 // KKR Stout tasting. Full bodied. Semisweet with a bit of roastiness. Chocolate and coffee in the mix. Simpler yet delicious.
