Description
Rascals Brewing was founded in 2014 by Emma Devlin and Cathal O’Donoghue.
The pair were living and working in New Zealand and developed a taste and passion for the booming Kiwi craft beer industry. In the spirit of adventure, they decided to change careers entirely and set up their own craft brewery back home in Dublin. Sure, why not?

Can from O’Brien’s, Athlone [261116]
Pitch black, frothy tan head, light lacing
Aroma of soft mint, hint of cocoa, slightly medicinal
Taste of soft mint, dark malts, some dark chocolate, good the mint is not overpowering, unusual
Palate - soft carb, medium body, good texture, light sweet malts, smooth. Finish of leafy mint, dark malts.
Overall - Unusual stout, the mint is more natural and leafy compared to the peppermint in After Eights. It works well enough - maybe a strength of 8-9% with more dark malts would get the beer even closer to the flavour?

330ml can from trade with BeersIveKnown, whilst watching Hell or High Water at Cineworld. No comment on appearance as consumed straight from the can. Aroma is vibrant tropical fruit and citrus. Taste continues, with lots of sweet luscious fruits presented balanced and smooth. Good cinema beer this.

Can. Hazy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts provide a mild sweetness. Pithy hops, orange and some mild bitterness. Smooth finish. Not really getting the best of these new German hops, but it’s okay.

Can from Beers of Europe. Pours clear dark amber with a thick white head. Aromas of light caramel and citrus. Taste is light sweet, faint bitter. Kind of a strong bitter rather than an IPA for me. Decent enough.
