Name: O’Hara’s Stout
Origin: Ireland
Style: Dry Irish Stout (5%)
Appearance: A very obvious Guiness clone, pouring with the standard cascading black, ruby red beer. Large creamy head.
Taste: The aroma is almost non-existent. The taste is light, watery. There are some notes of dark chocolates, bitter coffees and even a slightly sour hint to it. The bitter coffee-esque aftertaste lingers.
Mouth Feel: Mouth fell is very soft, like liquid velvet. The body is very light and watery.
Final Thoughts (2.5 out of 5): By the time I got around to trying the microbrewed Guiness clone, I was so sick of this black beer it was all I could do not to hide my disappointment. There was over 25 microbrewed beers I had never seen before at this pub and I picked a Guiness wanna-be.
