Our Irish Stout is built for people who love depth in a beer but don’t want something syrupy or heavy. At 6 percent and 46 IBUs, it has a bold presence, yet finishes satisfyingly dry — a hallmark of classic Irish stout tradition. This is the kind of stout that feels rich and comforting without ever weighing you down.
It pours nearly black, with a creamy tan head that hints at the flavours underneath. The first aromas are warm and familiar: roasted barley, dark chocolate, and a touch of coffee. Black Patent malt adds that signature deep colour and roasted snap, while Chocolate malt softens everything with round cocoa notes. A bit of Crystal Medium brings just enough sweetness to balance the roast before the dryness takes over.
Northern Brewer and Fuggle hops add a firm, earthy bitterness that supports the malts without overshadowing them. Their subtle herbal character sits quietly in the background, giving structure to the finish and keeping the beer crisp and balanced rather than sweet. The result is a stout that starts full, velvety, and flavourful, then ends clean — the kind of dryness that invites another sip almost immediately.
Irish stouts have long been associated with pubs, quiet conversations, and those moments when you want something comforting in your glass. This one lives in that same space. Picture yourself settling in at the end of a long day, the glass warming slightly in your hand as notes of cocoa, roasted grain, and dark toast unfold with each sip. It’s smooth, satisfying, and easy to enjoy whether you’re a longtime stout drinker or just discovering darker beers.
For food pairings, think hearty and savoury. Beef stew, shepherd’s pie, roasted mushrooms, or grilled meats all play beautifully with the roasted flavours. The dryness also cuts through richer dishes like mac and cheese or a creamy pasta. If you’re leaning sweet, try it with dark chocolate, brownies, or even a simple vanilla ice cream — the contrast makes both shine.
Our Irish Stout is a confident, full-bodied beer with the soul of a classic pub stout: roasted, smooth, clean-finishing, and endlessly enjoyable. Whether you’re settling in for a cool evening or pairing it with a comforting meal, it delivers all the richness you want with the dryness that keeps it refreshing.
