O'Haras Leann Folláin
This is not a beer for the faint of hearted, but for those of you who enjoy a good stout. For too long in Ireland we have been left with little but Guinness to drink as Diageo have homogenized the market. Never fear, the small Irish Brewery is here. Carlow Brewing company have been around for awhile now and represent one of the most successful microbreweries in the Irish beer revival. Their Leann Folláin is exactly as named, a big rich stout that has a hefty alcohol content to boot (6%).
Colour
Rich and dark with a rich a milk chocolaty hue ... mmm
Nose
Rich Coffee, with a hint of spice. A plain ole pub pint this is not.
Palate
Rich flavours of espresso coffee and a hint of chocolate are complemented by a slight spice to the finish. While the higher alcohol content gave it a slightly too bitter finish, this is certainly more interesting than Guinness, with a heap load more character.
Alc 6%
€2.89 (O'Briens Wines)
Score: 80
