OHanlons Original Port Stout

Dark brown-red color, Sweet fruity, coffee aroma and taste, light body, light dry finish. Not a good port stout.

Bottle conditioned from Safeway, Totnes, Devon. (500ml). Rich stout with evident port notes. I’m not a huge fan of stout, but this is drinkable.

This is very good! I was surprised. Nice dark red pour. Very nice tingly bubbles. Decent head. Roasty and dry mouthfeel, a little cola-like. Dry port finish. Surprisingly good.

Stored under a different name than what’s on the bottle, because their mother is a whore. No, no, not really, just like the word "whore". Pours dark red-brown. Nose malty, mildly roasty. Quite vinous. Flavor is malty at first, bit of caramel, the port character comes on at the end with some richness and sweetness. A bit of smoke at the end.

Dark reddish brown coloured. Roasty malt aroma with fruity and vinous notes. Pleasant and rather complex.

What the . . . ?!?!? I love stout. I love port. This should have been a pleasure. Wasn’t. Started good with a beautiful garnet color and tan head. Aroma was faintly of port, some chocolate, cherries, floral. Still, it wasn’t an inviting or potent aroma. Medium body and a sweet taste that was not in the least appealing. A big disappointment.

Pours a thick black with a frothy light tan head which, surprisingly, is lasting. Aroma is primarily sweet chocolate, coffee and cherries. Taste is pretty agressive. Probably one of the more "in your face" stouts that I have had, most likely due to the port wine. Coffee, dried fruit, dash of hops, and a slightly odd sourness which I again, attribute to the port. Not an excellent stout, but above average. Points for being unique, and a great appearance.

Bottle. Poured a large sized frothy tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. No carbonation observed, opaque and black hue. Malty, burnt, coffee, some chocolate, and roasty aroma. Roasty coffee flavor. Smooth and dry mouthfeel. Medium-full bodied stout with good lacing. Recommended.
