Diary entry #14, Carlow 'O'Hara's Celtic Stout'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> O’Hara’s Celtic Stout. 12oz, 4.3%, <$5, 20\/08\/04, at home. Same brewery as above: Carlow, Ireland. Good n black, but broad, tan bubbles which went wandering too soon. More like uber-dark ale, really. Won a gold at BIIA, 2000. Goes just great with Futurama. G. flinches at the coffee-ness. I must be StoutMan.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, October 2010:<\/strong> With all the bitter coffee flavour that’s apparently in there, I’m not sure where I thought<\/em> the line between “uber-dark” and stout lay. I quite like the “less than” signs on the prices for these two Carlow beers, too. Always good to know that I can occasionally remember a ballpark, if the details do escape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
