O'Hara's Lublin To Dublin
O'Hara's set the standard with Leann Follain IMO so I had very high expectations for their Lublin To Dublin Milk Stout. On the label it says it's a 'Robust Milk Stout' and robust it certainly is. Where Leann Follain is rich and flavoursome, this is dry and bitter with a distinct roasted, malted aftertaste. Drinkable for sure and good to see them doing something different but overall I'll be sticking with Leann Follain.0 -

Been a while, here are some of the highlights (or ones I remember!) of the last few weeks:
Tuatara Belgian Trippel: Lovely stuff, well worth the price but drinking a bottle this big is fairly hefty!
8.5% ABV but fairly well masked, nice lemony, subtle caramel, slight sour taste.
Eight Degrees Nomad: Alright, but doesn't come close to some of their IPAs. Bit too rough a mash-up of
different styles, tastes good for the new-world hops part but then the lagery part kind of ruins it.
Innis and Gunn Rum finish: Nice vanilla and caramel stuff, quite rich, kind of Porterish. Wasn't a huge fan of
their Whiskey cask-aged stuff, this is much better, got it for a song at €3 for a 660ml bottle due to the
semi-arbitraty best before end date being soon
Straffe Hendrik Bruges Tripel Ale Wild: Damn flavoursome for a tripel, nice fruits and yeasty character,
quite complex and this cool indescribable after-taste that I assume comes from the wild Brett in there
which is far more pronounced when cold (probably due to all the other flavours masking it as it warms).
Kona Big Wave Golden Ale: A bit bland to be honest, expected a lot more flavour after drinking a load
of my home-brewed St. Peter's Golden Ale! nice clean smooth drink though. Kona brews seem really hit or
miss to me.
Worthingtons White Shield: Long time since I had this one, lovely stuff, tastes more like a strong ale
(but with a ton less sweet) than an IPA. Nice caramel maltiness blending into
slight hop bitterness, slight alcohol taste and good body, feck all head though!
Cloughmore Heather IPA: Not really getting much of a Heather taste off it, but nice herby subtle floralness,
decent bittering but not harsh, biscuity and quite thick. Not bad but not amazing either.
Ridgeway Brewing Criminally Bad Elf: Harsh. The last word of this beers name should have been left out to give a
more accurate description...tastes like turbo-yeast thrown in a perfectly good brew with the perfectly fine
maltose being doubled up with granulated sugar! Basically a sub-par malt-liquor with a bit of added hop
flavour, I have had worse beers sure, but not at this price-point.
Trouble Brewing S.M.A.S.H Simcoe: Pretty good, a bit over the top, a half-pint was almost too much flavour
but that is to be expected with dry-hopping this hard! I preferred the Vic Secret one, that was lovely.
Blacks of Kinsale High Viz Double IPA: Powerful aroma and flavour off this thing, 8.5% but only mild (warming)
boozy taste as it is masked by the face-punching quantity of lovely floral fruity hops! The hop profile is
terrifically balanced between bitter, sweet, sharp and floral. Probably my favourite of their beers so far
as have had some real misses (but they might have been stored too long or something), hopefully will get to
taste it on draught or cask sometime soon as that is always even better!
TO OL Friends With Benefits: Lovely mild-lambicy sour, smooth mouthfeel with a tiny lasting fizz finish.
Reminds me of a hopped & soured Lomza non-filtered or a Lithuanian farmhouse ale, good stuff, definitely
worth trying at least.
BrewDog Punk IPA: Been a long time since I had it on draught and was better than ever, lovely smooth,
slight citrus, not too heavy on the hops, these guys just keep improving their brews!0 -

This is just how it looks now.
Last time I had it I thought it had lost some of its zing too.0 -

It's my birthday today, so I decided to break out the Brewdog Paradox Compass Box that my wife bought for me recently. At 15% I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the alcohol, but it sits nicely as part of the overall flavour, rather than coming as a kick at the end. It's quite a sweet beer with lots of malty coffee, burnt treacle and chocolate flavours. Is it worth €18 a bottle? Well tbh I'd find it hard to justify that price for any beer, even one at 15%, but it's definitely my kind of beer and I'm glad I got a chance to try it.
And as it's my birthday my wife bought me even more beer. She knows what I like.

Cancelled my Beer52 subscription 2 months ago, got an email the other day offering 8 beers for £12(normally £24). Got to the checkout and they offered a further 2 extra free beers this month. Not a bad haul.
Will probably cancel again though, don't think it's worth it for full price.0 -
