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.

Bottle. Dark brown with a light brown lasting head. Not much aroma but some roasted coffee is to find. Tase is dry and sour with some roasted notes. I think this sample is infected, it dosn’t taste right. I’ve tasted it before and can’t recognize the taste.

Nice black color. Thin head with not much retention. I’m at the tale end of a cold and for some reason this tastes like bitter tonic water. The hops bitterness is there, but it is very clean for a stout.

You want DRY, this is it. No vestage of sweetness remains in this irish stout. I couldn’t really notice any Port in it either. However it is a good dry stout if that’s your bag. Not heavy in palate, good roasted flavor and some nice finishing hops make it drinkable.

Very nice - a dry stout with plenty of sweetness and a smokey coffee favour. A touch flat, but very nice.

Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 6th Feb 2008. I can’t believe it’s taken me 400 rates to get round to this great stout. Looks superb - a very dark ruby brown. Kicks off well with a strong aroma of rich coffee and dark chocolate. The taste neatly blends the sweetness of port with the bitterness of chocolate and the roasted malt. The palate is full but lighter than you’d perhaps expect. Overall, it’s got bags of character but can also be drunk in quantity. Recommended.

Delicious stout. Aroma was a little weak. Mostly chocolate and caramel. Almost like a Snickers. Pour was a deep dark brown with a nice 1 finger tan head. Taste is a different mix of sweet and bitter. The sweet comes in the front with heavy chocolate notes and burnt malt. Aftertaste is a bitterweet vinous mix of alcohol and coffee. Nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark ruby almost black color with a longlasting off-white head. Dry roasted fruity aroma with some hints of chocolate and darkfruit. Roasted malty chocolate flavor with some hints of the port. Has a dry roasted malty finish with some fruity hints from the port.

Black with ruby edges, thin light tan head. Aroma is roasty, with chocolate showing from the port, caramel. Taste is somewhat watery, then has a very light sourness which I’m assuming is from the port. Not a big fan.
