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.

Bottle. Pours black with a big fluffy light tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and has a hint of smoke. Flavor is roasted malts, chocolate, light coffee and some mild licorice with a medium body and a dry and bitter finish

Beautiful, totally dark appearance with a large, light brown head and very good lacing. Roasted malt aroma complimented by bitter chocolate and coffee. Dry, earthy, toasty flavors with a restrained hop profile. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated, but not a lot of depth. Smooth, dry, lingering finish.

Bomber, shared. Pours a deep black with reddish tints on the end and a fluffy brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. Taste is the same with a detectable hop presence as well. I really enjoyed this one.

750 ml bottle from Canal’s Burlington. Wow this one poured AND had the mouthfeel of a nitro draught yet it came from a swing cap bottle. Poured a silky smooth pitch black with a super large foamy mocha colored head. Aroma was roasted malts, freeze dried coffee and chocolate with just a slight touch of hops. The mouthfeel on this one is awesome, so smooth yet no nitro keg or widget anywhere. Flavor is roasted malts, lite chocolate and coffee but just a good dose of roasted malts. This is one solid beer that looks and feels like a Guiness pub draught yet it’s a simple swing cap.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of chocolate and roasted malts. Poured black in color with a big, dense, creamy, brown head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Excellent lacing. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of malts, chocolate, slight coffee, roasting, and some bitter hops. Medium body. Thin, chalky texture. Soft carbonation. Roasty, chocolate, finish is lightly dry.

Ottima stout bella piena assaggiata durante il nostro pranzo irlandese (per me a base di salmone e in seguito di sanguinaccio - preso 3 volte). Non ho sentito la versione normale; penso che avrò l’occasione.

Very dark brown with a tall light tan head. Sweet aromas of caramel, chocolate, roasted malt and sweet coffee. Light sweetness in the front, with some toasted malts and caramel. A touch roasted malt. Fairly average.
