    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 341 ✭✭crkball6


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭Johnny Drama_11


    Thanks folks will keep an eye out for these.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,261 ✭✭✭✭ben.schlomo


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,748 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭oblivious


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,285 ✭✭✭jh79


    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

    Are we almost at dungarven coffee and oatmeal time? Always a treat at this time of year.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 875 ✭✭✭laros


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭xbox gamer

    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, Registered Users 2 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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,469 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    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 :(

    Scrap the cap!

    I didn't like it at all -- very buttery biscuit peanut in a horrible way to my palate -- however, I'm a small minority in RateBeer - a lot of people love it! As I recall it gets 100/100


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭stecleary


    Innis & Gunn kith and kin is worth a try


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭Johnny Drama_11


    Thread resurrection... What stouts should I be buying for Xmas 2020?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,698 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Fuller's London Porter, lovely stuff.

    Also, a lot of people don't rate it but Trouble Brewing's Dark Arts.

    First they came for the socialists...



  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭Normal One


    Lineman have a couple of outstanding stouts at the moment: Gigantic and Astral Grains.

    The Rye River Belgian Stout is lovely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭Johnny Drama_11


    Are Shanco dubh and Crann beatha by Brehon still widely available?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 396 ✭✭Open the Pubs


    Guinness Foreign Extra, best bottled stout I've had but at 7.5% it's quite strong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 239 ✭✭mccard


    World's End by Blacks is your only man.

    That beer is different every time it comes out.
    Sometimes it's like Cadbury's drinking chocolate, sometimes it has a very strong whiskey barrel influence. It just doesn't know what it wants to be.

    I loved the very first batch of it. Then they started fcuking around with it.

    Yeah, I had a few of the rum cask version in Abbott's and it was gorgeous. Later picked up a bottle of the chocolate vanilla version (which is all that seems to be around these days) and it was sickly sweet.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 11,914 Mod ✭✭✭✭BeerNut


    Porterhouse has a four-stout box set out: Plain, Oyster, Celebration and the new barrel-aged imperial Around the Clock.

    I really enjoyed the new porter by Stone Barrel: Spectre. Straightforward, no fancy stuff; one you could drink a lot of if porter's your thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,760 ✭✭✭Effects

    I've seen them in Martin's in Fairview and Molloy's on Franics St. recently.

    Pity they didn't include (Wrassler's) XXXX - a fantastic, hearty stout - best of their three 'standard' stouts IMHO.

    It'e generally not in the fridge, but is on the shelves, to the right of the fridges, at the back of the store. They do online sales as well, so you could also check stock that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,717 ✭✭✭✭Geuze


    Guinness Foreign Extra, best bottled stout I've had but at 7.5% it's quite strong.

    And five for 10 euro in O'Briens.

    Galway Bay's Two Hundred Fathoms is about to make a return after two years away.
