Stouts for Xmas

Johnny Drama_11

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

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

Johnny Drama_11

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

Lovely Bloke

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

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

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

Nice one, my girlfriend does a yoga class in Ranelagh so that gives me and excuse to head that way!

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.

Blacks have just bottled this years "World's End" so should be in the shops soon...

Brilliant. Will stock up.

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

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

I'll be having 2015 200 fathoms, interested to see how it is after a couple of years
