O’hara’s Irish Stout: Review


“A full bodied and luxuriously smooth stout with a discernible roast bite.”
Here could be the major problem it has May 09 is on the bottle and this is 2011. 

4.3% abv
11.2 oz bottle
Carlow Brewing Co.
Carlow, Ireland

Appearance: black body with a thin tan head that disappeared in a split second.

Aroma: dark roasted grains

Flavors: deep roasted coffee, grainy, earthy, a touch of burnt wood.  This beer is two years old and it tastes pretty damn good.  I want to find a fresh four pack and do a comparison to Gunnisse Stout. 

Mouthfeel: slight carbonation, smooth, and a toasty/roasty grainy aftertaste.

  1. Depends where you are located.
    I picked this one up in Livonia at a party store off of Plymouth Rd (the wine barrel?)
    I also have seen it at the party store in Canton off of Haggerty and south of Ford (the super fine wine and liquor store)
