Below is a list of the bottled stouts & porters I have tasted. Many are given poor marks for being oxidised or infected, which is not necessarily the beers fault - I just had a bad
My coffee stout brewed earlier in the year was the best thing I have ever brewed & went down well with my drinking friends.
Youngs & Wells
A full mouthfeel & chocolatey, but not sweet. Has a little roasted & burnt malt flavour to it.
Wooden Hand Brewing
Silky like an oatmeal stout. Sweetish & full bodied.
Wagtail
Wood smokey, dry & full bodied.
Traditional Scottish Ales
Sweet stout, but not cloying. Smooth with liquorice & burnt flavours.
Titanic
A good solid stout with good burnt malt flavours. Good bitterness too.
Ridgeway
Much alcohol warmth & burnt flavours. A very drying aftertaste.
Okells
A stout with a good smokey flavour along with a malty sweetness & a gently burnt taste.
O'Hanlon's
A great beer & the only port stout I've found in a bottle. There isn't enough "o"s in smooth to describe this beer. Full bodied & rich.
