Commercial Description:
In the winter of 1996 we were inspired by an Irish tradition for a morning after 'corpse-reviver' - a splash of Port in your stout! The inspired blending of Rich Ruby Port with O'Hanlon's award-winning stout has created a unique and original masterpiece of craft brewing.

Bottled as OHanlon’s Ruby Stout. Pours a clear dark brown with red highlights and a tall, lacy tan head. Cherries and chocolate in the aroma. Creamy medium body with medium carbonation. The port shows up in the taste, along with nuts, fruit, vanilla and smoke. Dry hoppy finish.

Bottle, 500ml. A dark reddish black colour with a medium brown head. Aromas of sweet red wine, a little hoppiness, plum and citrus. The port dominates the flavour, with only a little hoppiness and maltiness in the background. The finish is tannic with strong bitterness. Moderate carbonation. This combination doesn’t work for me...

Pours black with deep red tones and tan head that retains until the end. Sweet mildly smoky aroma. Light malt, chocolate and black malt flavors with very mild port wine tone that leaves the palate clean and smooth. A lighter mouthfeel than expected for a stout. Overall, very good and drinkable.

Black with a creamy brown head... excellent lacing and retention. Aroma of cocoa, sweet berries, raisen and smoke. Soft carbonation and smooth mouthful giving flavours of smoked wood, raisen, chocolate... the port flavour exists but doesn’t dominate as I thought it might. Medium long fruity finish, a nice complex stout.
