Heaney Irish Stout, 4.3% ABV, 500 ml bottle Bradleys
Very much in the classic Irish Stout tradition.
Very much in the classic Irish Stout vein, this Heaney bottle is a favourite of mine and has been so for quite a while. It consistently looks, smells and tastes very much as you’d expect.
The colour combination is a black body and an off-white head. Roast coffee certainly leads the aromatics with dark chocolate also prominent. The flavour is rich. It is smooth and the finish is malty (dry and roasted). Glad to say this current bottle proves that the stout is as good as ever. Satisfaction more or less guaranteed.
Very Highly Recommended.
Heaney recommends pairing it with slow-cooked meat dishes (such as beef cheek, feather-blade of beef or shank of lamb) or pair with a rich chocolate dessert. Serve at ten degrees.
They say: For generations, our family farm has been a place of harvest and inspiration. Our beers are for after the graft. Rural thirst quenchers. Brewed and bottled by Heaney Farmhouse Brewery at The Wood, Bellaghy, Co. Derry.
