Real Irish Dry Stout

Porterhouse Wrasslers XXXX Full Stout....$3.99 / 11.2oz
Rated 95 percentile on RateBeer

The Porterhouse Wrassler's XXXX Full Stout is a fulsome, full-length bittersweet stout. Made to a recipe originally brewed by Deasy's of West Cork in the early 1900's, the XXXX denotes the strength of alcohol and depth of flavor. This was Michael Collins' favorite tipple, a stout like your grandfather used to drink. The Wrassler's Stout bears a pungent aroma from late-kettle hopping; a generous quantity of roast grain and flaked barley produce its big flavor, acrid bitterness, and big, beautiful body. "The best Irish Stout I've ever tasted" - Tom Doorley, Sunday Tribune

"Dry Stout may be a minor category, but it embraces some famous names, not the least of which is Guinness. How many brewers would go head to head with such a renowned beer? If you remember the Guinness of a generation ago - bigger, rounder, oilier - you will love Wrasslers, as it has more of everything: body, especially, but also toasty barley flavours, malty sweetness, hoppy bitterness, and an earthy yeast character." - Michael Jackson

Grain: Pale Malt, Roast Barley, Black Malt, Flaked Barley.
Hops: Galena, Nugget, East Kent Goldings
