Porterhouse Wrasslers XXXX Stout

A very good stour this. Much better than the overrated and overhyped Guinness, which is drunk by gormless posers. This is a stout that the Irish should be proud of and should be drunk much more widely than its evil cousin. Sweet and caramel in taste, but what I like the most is the long lasting dry bitter aftertaste.

Pours a lovely stout black, toffee aroma with a coffee and toffee punch!!!!! Very very enjoyable tap stout, will certainly drink again

Bottle. Poured dark with smoky aroma. Smoke and chocolate flavor. Good all around stout.

C-bus 7. Light roasted malt. Black body with a thin head. Medium palate. Lightly bitter toasted malts and some hints of coffee. Some grassy flavors show up now to make this more complex and are joined by an astringent malt flavor that detracts from the flavor.

Bottle... Pitch black ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The nose is of coal dust and cocoa powder. Burnt, bitter flavor with no residual sweetness. Bursts of dark chocolate and espresso. Full-bodied and astringent with soft carbonation. Bitter, acrid finish. A big SHOUT goes out to jjpm74 for providing the bottle!

Poured a very dark brown color with no real head. Sweetish lacto roast aroma, with some dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, mildly carbonated. Mild roast character in taste, with a clean, dry finish. A decent dry stout.

750ml bottle from footy - thanks Rudy! - Shared this one at Columbus 7 tasting - Pours dark brown with a short offwhite head. Aromas of smoky roasted malts over chocolate and caramel. Flavor is quite roasty as well with a good amount of smoke there. Some good sweetness finds it’s way through with notes of caramel and chocolate. Smooth and rich throughout with a nice dry finish. I really enjoyed this one.

poured black with a small khaki head.Hugh aromas of hops, floral and dirt.Hoppy flavor with hints of chocolate peeking out.Finish was slightly hoppy and bitter.
