    Hi All,

    I am looking for suggestions of some stouts to try over the xmas period, I will have some family and friends over and want to try some different types. So far I have Jet Black Heart (Brewdog) and Leann Folláin (O'Hara's) so far but looking for a couple more.

    Sorry for mentioning xmas so early.

    Thanks,

    JD

    Siren -Carribean Chocolate Cake
    Magic Rock - Common Grounds
    O'Haras - Imperial Stout
    Brewdog - Hinterland
    Beavertown - 'Spresso

    Are a few of my favorites this year and should be easy enough to source.

    Founders Breakfast Stout / Founders KBS
    Galway Bay - Buried at sea

    Brehon Oatmeal stout is very good. Galway bays Stormy Port is another.

    No Joe - O Brother Brewing
    KBS - Founders

    A few not mentioned yet:

    Galway Hooker Stout
    Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
    Founders Imperial Stout
    Williams Bros March of the Penguins
    Trouble Brewing Dark Arts (I know it's a porter rather than a stout, but it definitely deserves a mention).

    Of those listed on this thread, KBS is imo the best beer of any kind money can buy. The only problem is that it's a limited production run, so finding some might be tricky.

    Porterhouse celeberation stout

    and a tucked away 200 fathoms :P

    Have you tried

    http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/omnipollo--buxton-yellow-belly-peanut-butter-biscuit-stout/280975/

    I love KBS but I think this would nudge in ahead of it.

    Probably too rare for the OP's plans but your guests would love you for it

    Just bought a bottle of Independent Extra Stout. Hopefully it is as good as Kinnegar Cup and Saucer.

    Haven't tried that, but I don't think my peanut allergy would thank me for it :D

    There's no nuts, butter or biscuit in it, but tastes of all 3. It's magic :D

    It's definitely Stout season again, anyone got some info on where to find some nice imperials?
    There's slim pickings around Tallaght but I'm happy to drive and pick up a few bottles. :)

    A small drive but probably the best on your side Redmonds of Ranelagh

    You can order from places like drinkstore.ie they have a shop in stoney batter with excellent selections

    Not too early in my world...not stout but put aside a dungarvan 'gallows hill' last week for xmas consumption.as said, not a stout, barley wine, packs a punch, full of raisin, toffee flavour and perfect for nursing during festivities.

    Brilliant. Will stock up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭ Johnny Drama_11


    Thread resurrection...is it too early to start putting stout away for xmas. I just picked up a bottle of 200 fathoms and have a bottle of imperial stout by Boyne. Wondering if they should be drank now or wait.

    Also would regular stouts benefit from ageing I.e. brehons ulster oatmeal


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭ murphyebass


    Don't forget a few bottles of Guiness extra. 5 for a tenner in my local offi ain't to e sneezed at for a pretty damn tasty extra stout especially if you want one more beer but not an expensive one

    Anyone got a price for the 200 fathoms in the actual GBB pubs. Seems about 8.50 in offie?

    Lovely stuff. Anyone know if they made more this year?

    It's only released once a year, AFAIK.

    I know that. It ran out pretty quick last year. Was wondering if they had made a bigger batch

    A couple of years ago I picked up a bottle of whiskey barrel aged Leann Follain, lovely stuff. Couldn't get one last year for love nor money :(
