Carlow Brewing Company O’Hara’s Irish Stout – Irish Dry Stout at 4.3% ABV

Carlow Brewing Company O’Hara’s Irish Stout Irish Dry Stout at 4.3% ABV (C$4.21 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, best before 1-Jan-2017, reviewed 17-Mar-2016)

Appearance: nearly opaque deep brown with brown highlights, one finger of fluffy beige head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: roasty malts, cocoa, coffee, berries. (8/10) Taste: low sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (8/10) Palate: medium-full slightly creamy body, moderate carbonation, dry moderate bitter finish. (3/5)

Smooth and easy drinking Irish Dry Stout, with low sweetness and a pleasant dry bitter finish. Definitely something one could drink a lot of. (15/20)

My 220th from the 2010 Edition (209th from the 2013 edition), and 231st combining both editions.
