TOPIC:

After buying two O'hara's stouts after the switch to the new brewery, I took a little break from O'Hara's; (the strong roastiness that I liked was gone and it wasn't replaced by anything).

I decided to pick one out last night again and I'm really impressed; the best O'Hara's stout yet!

Still less roasty, VELVETY SMOOTH with a bit more sweetness; it's simply gorgeous. So much more multidimensional than just pale malt + roast barley.

(Picked up another one tonight.)
I also made some "Sinamar" today (I'm going to give the Schwartz beer treatment to my Wit.) but before I strain it and see what it does for a Wit, I decided to add a bit of O'hara's stout to it instead. The result IS REALLY nice and has me thinking...

I take back everything I said about the O'hara's switch; it was definitely a good thing.

Am I alone in thinking the Aldi stuff is the best O'Hara has to offer?

I'd kill to be able to have pints of that in my local.

I'm a big O'hara's fan as well.
Wasn't familiar with the stout before but it would be by far my favourite Irish stout.
As for their aldi brew, it's far nicer than the Irish red they have on the shelves, imo.

No you're not the only one. For me, it's probably the best beer in the world at the moment. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

picking up a few beers today - is this stuff branded ohara's in aldi. or is it a different name with a "bottled for aldi by oharas" message on the side.
Can it only be exclusively got in aldi?
