Roasted barley, rolled oats, chocolate & black malts combine to produce our Traditional Irish Stout brimming with flavour. The gentle coffee aroma is balanced wonderfully by rich hop flavours.

Bottle at the cafe at the titanic Museum and my first from the North of Ireland. Dark brown in color with a huge off white head. Light roast and chocolate with bits of toffee and bready malts. Light earthy hop to counter. Best beer at the Titanic Museum.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Starts intense malty, roasty, stouty. Dry-bitter background. Earthy notes. Finish more balanced, dry-malty. Interesting beer!

Bottle bought a few years ago in Northern Ireland. Smooth dry malty beginning. Neutral in the back, grainy and easy to drink. Watery dry, malty with hints of bitterness in the back.

Bottle shared at the Chris & Ruth pre GBBF shindig tasting 2016 - London. Cheers! Pours rich brown with a billowing, tan froth as a head. The nose holds toasted bread, light paper, dirt, faint leather. Lightly sweet, earthy, with some toasted paper, faint cocoa. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Drying finish, with touches of berry tang. Eh, not excellent.
