Common descriptors are Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
Black with a ruby-red tint, velvety and full-flavoured Stout. Well balanced and warming, rich and malty dry "Irish-style" Stout has a smooth full flavour, from the addition of flaked oats, with a long bitter finish.
In the 18th Century the Irish (tired of importing Porters and Stouts from Bristol and London) started making their own Stouts. A few hundred years later the Bristol Beer Factory (tired of importing Stout from Ireland) created a tasty blend of 7 malts to rival the most flavoursome beers of this style. |
