Lublin to Dublin Foreign Extra Stout

Lublin to Dublin 2016 glass & bottle (for Lublin Page)

Lublin to Dublin is a collaboration between Carlow Brewing Company and Poland’s Pinta Brewery. This is the third beer in the Lublin to Dublin series.

Brewed at O’Hara’s Brewery, this Foreign Extra Stout is intense, full-bodied and complex. The pronounced roast flavours bring forward the more subtle dark malt characteristics of aniseed, vanilla and dried fruit. The addition of Polish hops with their unique heavy and earthy flavours perfectly balance the intensity of the darks malts, providing a great backbone for this full, satisfying brew. Barley

BREWER'S NOTE

As soon as Pinta Brewery from Poland agreed to do a third collaboration
with us we knew it was going to be an opportunity to brew something big
and bold. Following on from the success of our previous two outings – we
quickly decided that we would brew another big and full flavoured stout
that would be slightly higher in ABV than last time.

Using a combination of Irish malt and Polish Hops definitely hits the right
spot in terms of the beers flavour profile. Expected notes of coffee, chocolate
and caramel lead the way to a long finish that has a definitive aniseed flavour
that comes to the front.

Foreign Extra Stout

Big beers are always a lot of fun to brew. Big stouts especially so as the intensity
and sweetness of a strong stout is always welcome and brings out a lot of the more
subtle dark malt flavours that can be missed in dryer stouts. Add the use of Polish
hops not typically associated with an Extra Stout, although a very suitable
companion, and the result is a big stout with even more layers of complexity.
