Can from O’Brien’s, Athlone [020417]
Copper colour, light haze, thin white head, light lacing
Aroma of caramel, soft orange, soft sweet caramelised oranges
Taste of bitter zest hops, bitter orange, fruity caramel, hint of toffee, lots of bitterness
Palate - Soft carb, medlium body, light sweet malt. Finish is dry, very bitter hops, afters a bit too bitter, almost towards a paracetamol bitterness
Overall - Finish is over harsh, too much raw bitterness here over flavour

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [260317]
Dark chestnut brown, beige head, light lacing
Aroma of soft dark fruits, some orange, hint of dark malt
Taste of mellow dark malts, getting orange, soft dark chocolate, slight toffee...now getting some roast, fairly bitter hops. Unusual experimental hops in here - they are quite orangey - I like these hops. The beer comes across to me more as a porter/dunkel hybrid
Palate - Soft carb, medium body. Finish has more roasted malts, dark chocolate, soft bitter linger.
Overall - One of the best beers I’ve had from this brewery. I’d like to see a black IPA brewed with these hops
