Description
Founder of Dot Brew, Shane Kelly, has made a name for both himself and his brand over the last few years through a keen passion and love for experimentation when it comes to his brews, most notably in the form of barrel ageing and hybrid styles. The Dublin based brewer has carved out quite a niche, developing a unique style and approach which has helped put Dot Brew at the forefront of the Irish Craft Beer scene. While the beers are brewed in various microbreweries in and around Dublin, they are then brought home to Dolphin’s Barn. The site is home to about 50 barrels in a small warehouse which Kelly refers to as his ‘spice rack’, with casks ranging from French oak, Mexican tequila and American bourbon, to name but a few.

Clean gold with a frothy head. Aroma of butter malt. Flavour is buttered bread, light bitter hops, metallic grain bitter finish. Really good take on the style.

Bottle at home, from an online peddler whom I can't recall, 15/12/24.# Lighter shade of black topped with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is earthy roast, dried red berries, cocoa powder, toffee, charr. Taste comprises earthy roast, cocoa powder, freeze dried raspberries, charr, toffee, dusty fruits. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation, light drying close with just a hint of alcohol. Okay stout ... this bottle has a few years on it and it's coming out a good touch over the average score for me!

Dyp rød med tynt hvitt skum. Lukter mye av bringebær. Samme i smak. Lett syrlig. Mye bringebær. Desverre er det veldig lite kullsyre i denne flasken. Blir derfor tam.
