Stormy Port bottles: Out with the new recipe yet? 12 years 1 week ago #1

Rory Topic Author Offline Posts: 130	As it says in the title really... Has the new, stronger, Stormy Port from Galway Bay Brewery made it into a release of bottles yet? There's plenty of Stormy Port on the shelves but I wasn't sure if it was old stock or not.

Rory Topic Author Offline Posts: 130	Got a new bottle of 5.5% today in Martins', Fairview. Mixed in with old stock of the 4.8%... The staff weren't aware of the new recipe. Excellent translation from draught to bottle in my view. Tastes like more than 5.5% abv to me, quite punchy, rich stuff.

CTbeerguy Offline Posts: 257	Same as above, new 5.5% bottles mixed in with the older version at the dark horse, the guy in the off licence had no idea what I was talking about until I pointed it out. The red cap is the difference, the 4.8% version had the old black cap.

Old label with 4,8% alc, dark red star logo and classic barcode
