About
The Oslo was the start of Galway Bay Brewery and remains our flagship pub based in Salthill; our owners Jason O’Connell and Niall Walsh added a brewery on site in 2009, making The Oslo one of the country’s first brew pubs. Since then Galway Bay Brewery has expanded operations to 11 bars based in Galway and Dublin and have grown and re-positioned the Brewery just outside of Galway in Oranmore. We now produce four core beers along with a plethora of rotational beers that are released throughout the year.
With the installation of our new brew house we are turning our focus towards exporting and making our beers available in the UK and Europe

В аромате весьма много ноток от шоколада и какао бобов, есть нотки от виски и намеки на карамель, сухость общая, слабая сладость. Цвет черный как уголь, тело слегка маслянистое. Вкус шоколада черного и сухого, есть нотки от бочки и достаточно много, какао и кофе в балансе. Немного смущает слишком большая хмелевая составляющая на финише. Нормально в целом.

Пиво на которое я не ставил, так как пробовал этот редкий стиль лишь раз, и был очень разочерован. Но в этот раз оно очень даже удивило. Очень приятное, питкое, слегка терпкое, кислое пиво. Прям как гозе только без соли но с большей цедровостью. Очень интересно.

Bière trouvée chez comptoir irlandais. Robe presque noire, avec juste une légère translucidité, surmontée d’une mousse fine et irrégulière. Nez puissant de malts torréfiés, réglisse et mélasse. En bouche, attaque amère et intense, plus beurrée que sucrée, avec des notes de réglisse salée et de sirop médicinal. Finale avec une belle amertume persistante. Corps moyen, carbonatation faible à modérée. Un stout réussi!

Bottle from Bierwinkel Hop, Amersfoort. Roasty aroma with dark chocolate, booze, roast, soft rum, dark chocolate. Medium sweet and pretty rich, some alcohol. Medium to full body. Not as much rum as I expected, but good. Feisty brew.
