OHanlons Original Port Stout

Brewed by OHanlons
Style: Stout
Whimple, England

Bottle from Whole Foods, London. Lovely. Pure enjoyment. Quite a contrast to the Beer Lao I just had! This has a lovely smokiness to which thay have added some port, and you have the port aroma well blended in with the beer. I would have loved a stronger version of this. 8% or 12%.

Bottle. Pours translucent brown with ruby highlights. A lacing brown head is present. Smells a bit like budweiser with a roast character and faint sweetness. Faint sweet flavor, toasty stout, not noticing much port flavor, more a hint of cherry coke. Light and tingly feel, like pop.

Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, oak, chocolate, coffee, and only a slight hint of the port. Flavor is kind of light at first. The roasted malts and oak dominate the flavors on this one. Has a slightly bitter finish but not too strong. Not really what I was expecting

like a morning cup of mild coffee. its got a thin taste with a mild toastyness. the malts seem to work pretty well. The rest works pretty well

The aroma has coffee, cream, roasted malt, and yeast. The appearance is ruby brown with a nice tan head. The flavor is like the aroma and quite bitter. The palate is thin. Overall it’s good but not great.

0.5L bottle. Murky dark brown colour. Some roasted malt aroma. Flavour is suprisingly quite dry with some coffee notes. Carbonation is a bit to strong. Finish is so dry that it drys your throat. I was desparetly trying to find what is the added value of the ruby port to this stout, but unfortunatly could not find anything . A huge dissapointement, just like England losing the rugby world cup.

Bottle. Black color with a medium, slowly-siminishing, light-brown head. Roasty nose with some vinous notes, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is quite sweet and malty, with some nice roastiness (and some roasty bitterness), some smoke, notes of coffee, a bit of hops, and a bit of sourness in the finish. Medium-bodied. A decent stout.

Bottle. Labeled Ruby Stout. Pours in a dark brown, but when you hold it up to the light you can really see the brilliant ruby red. I got a huge 3 finger creamy tan head that sat up on my glass like frosting. Malty aroma, very roasty, earthy. Flavor is roasted malts and some dark chocolate. The nose is a little sweet but actually milder than I expected. The finish has some mild notes of the port but I honestly had trouble picking them up at first. Body is medium to full with noticeable carbonation. Nice
