Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6.5
500ml bottle. Clear, orangey, pale golden colour with huge, foamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of mandarine and orange, cautious smoky overtones. Taste is bone-dry, bitter hoppy, piney and slightly citrusy fruity, notes of orange and mandarine, spicy hints of rye, a minimally smoky touch; way overcarbonated.

500ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma, some cocoa, some liquorice, a very cautious touch of red berries. Taste is chocolately, dark malty, slightly roasty, minimally nutty, a salty touch of liquorice; dry, roasty, almost a bit ashy finish.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [260616]
Amber, slight haze, frothy white head
Aroma of fruits, slight cheesy, bit floral, odd nose, some hay, not great
Taste of citrus zest hops, piney hops, some burnt orange, damp hay, very hoppy but very rough as well
Palate - Medium carb and body, very bitter zest hops. Finish is dry, very bitter, rough, astringent
Overall - Rough hewn and clumsy. May revisit this but this bottle wasn’t good

Aroma - Slight roast, very little on the nose
Taste of soft roast, some coffee grounds, light burnt notes, dark malts
Palate - Medium carb and body, some bitter roast. Finish of roasted malts, dab of burnt toast, roasty finish
Overall - Roasty stout with little aroma - probably better cask looking at the other reviews here

Bottle from Callans, at mum and dads, 06/06/16. Clear golden blonde with a decent white head that retains well. Nose is light citric peel, freshly cut grass, stra, bready notes. Taste comprises lemon zing, straw, light spice, faint white pepper, pale malts, toasted grain, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light grassy bitterness. Adequate golde ... probably the weakest of the offerings I’ve had from Brehon but ticks the style boxes non the less.
