beer_name: O'Hara's Irish Stout
text: This is a very nice classic Irish dry stout. I am a fan of this style of beer. Guinness Extra Stout is my regular beer when out in a restaurant. It is Saint Paddy's Day today and I had to have an Irish Stout so it was the perfect day to try it and I was so looking forward to it I was afraid I would be let down. I was not disappointed. It is classic to the style so there are few bells and whistles, meaning it is nothing super special but it is very good and it hit exactly the spot I was hoping it would! Here's the break down: Appearance: Pours black with a thick tan head and minimal lacing. Smell: Sweet dark roasted malts and a hint of molasses and coffee. Taste: Dark malts and dark fruits. Mild flavor, very gentle. It has a bit of unsweetened chocolate and a bit of burnt coffee in the flavor. A bit of a hops dryness especially in the finish. The aftertaste is very nicely dark and sweet. There is nothing extreme it is simply easy and approachable. Mouthfeel: Medium -full mouthfeel, creamy and nice and dry. Drinkability: VERY sessionable! This is a fantasitc Saint Paddy's Day or everyday beer. If it wasn't twice the price of Guiniess (here anyway) I would replace my regular in the fridge. As it is it is not quite worth the price difference to make it a regular of mine. I do reccomend trying it though if you like the style. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!
