OHanlons Original Port Stout

Brewed by OHanlons
Style: Stout
Exeter, England

Not a bad sweet stout. It has a pleasant roasty flavor and aroma. Full of hazelnuts maybe, and chocolate and crystal malts. The flavor is mild, even for a stout and seems to lack substance. The carbonation is smooth and creamy, very melow. It leaves a good refreshing tingle in your mouth.

Bottle. Dark ruby-brown with a good sized light tan head. Interesting aroma - fairly malty/roasty with notes of coffee and smoke, and a tinge of sour fruit. Body is on the thin side - decent for an ale, but light for a stout. Flavour follows on the aroma - sweet roasty notes of the top, some mild smoke and coffee, and a dry, sourish finish. Pretty neat little beer.

Cask Jet-black beer with a B.C."H.". Slight-sweet, some typical porter-roasted notes, but especially a fry or a roast piece of meat... Ink-like, but sweet taste, with a slight moccha-like finish. Warming up, some fruity-estery noes. Medium bodied, quite slick. Must have been a very Scottish dash of Portwine.

A dark brown to black stout with a thick fluffy moka head. A rather strong Brett aroma, herbal with notes of chocolate, bitter and roasted. In mouth, a bitter chocolate appears clearly, a bit herbaceous, but no porto noted in this. Medium bodied. Bieropholie private imports, early 2006. BB 03-05-2007.

Wow. Rarely do you ever see a stout with this much head. Great big light tan head with great lacing. Roasted aroma with grapes and other fruit. Color is a very dark red/brown. Medium bodied stout with fruit, a touch of coffee and a little sweet. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. A decent stout.

Pours a three finger tan head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Totally black color, no high lights. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Slight roasted coffee nose. Flavor is semisweet roasted coffee. Small burnt coffee finish. Not finding any port. Halfway between a sweet and dry stout. $4.99 for a 500ml bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT. Best by 1/23/10.

Bottle at DBF2005. Rich roasty aroma, very nice. Jet black body, with a small creamy head. Roasty flavor, vague presence of the port flavors. Decent stout.
