Commercial Description:
10th anniversary limited edition
Reviving a tradition that had all but disappeared for over 150 years, the O'Hara family established a brewery in their home county of Carlow in south-east Ireland in 1996 producing beers of traditional Celtic and Irish origin, O'Hara's Irish Stout was born in 1998, winning the Championship Trophy and two gold medals at the International Millennium Brewing Industry Awards in 2000. The O'Hara's brand has now arrived at it's 10th anniversary. To mark that occasion we present as a limited edition O'Hara's Celebration Stout - rich in Irish malts balanced by a full bodied bitterness and delicate spicy aroma from Northdown and Fuggles hops with a luxurious chocolate finish.

BA trade. Pours dark brown, with mocha like head. aroma, roasted malts, chocolate. flavor, lots of good roast, chocolate malts, some coffee, medium carbonation, light mouthfeel, hints of dark fruits and coffee toward the finish. Light, tasty, filled with flavors. As it warmed pup, the chocolate gained a little more presence and a smooth nice roasty finish.

Bottled at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Transparently black, huge firm head. Aroma of coffe and chocolate. Mid-dry, feels light and airated despite a core of dense oily molasses. Grass caramel and chocolate comes along. A bitterness, which has resiny undertones, keeps growing. Feels rich,flavourful and potent, yet drinkable and fairly slim.

Bottle. Very dark brown pour with a large dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Similar flavor with a slightly dry, bitter finish and a lingering saltiness. Interesting stuff.

Bottle from Pauly’s in Lowell. Pours a viscous black color with a reddish-brown head. Smells and tastes of toasted malts, toffee, milk cocoa, and irish cream. Much more aggressive and dense than i was anticipating, which was a pleasant suprise. Good stuff.

Big-ass swing-top bottle from Pat’s Liquors in Porter, Indiana: This pours a deep, dark brown body with a lofty, sustained light brown head and provides a whole lotta lace. The aroma is roasted, almost burnt dark malts with some bittersweet chocolate. Medium bodied, the flavor remains roasty, added some coffee, with the chocolate sweetening up a bit. Dry finish. Not bad.
