OHanlons Original Port Stout

A pitch black beer with a fine head. It has a nice aroma of smoked malt with hints of liqurice. The flavor is a very filling stout flavor with a strong smoked taste. A very fine stout.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown - but not black - with a thick, light brown head - sort of shaving foam style - leaving lumpy traces in my glass. Very dry body with notes of smoked, hard roasted malts. Bitter finish. But I’m not really sure I detect the added Ferreira Port. 100402

Bottle. Dark brown colored with medium size off-white head. Sweet aroma with hints of coffee, smoothly hoppy. Flavor is sweet with toasty notes and some coffe background. Very smooth. Slightly bitter end.

Bottled@SBWF2007. Deep amber colour, mediumsized creamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, some slight hops, spices and burnt wood. Flavour is roasted malts, some slight hops, coffee and some sourness.

OK head, large bubbles, not too stable. Sweet liquorice smell. Light body. Thin, disappointing taste.

Bottled. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Aroma of dish washer and herbs with roasted notes. Roasted flavour with notes of soap and coffee. Dry finish of coffee. Unfortunately I can’t detect the added port - if the brewers have to add any foreign ingredients to their beers, then done so it can be detected. This one is waste of port and beer !
