O'Hara's - Leann Follain

True to it’s name, “Leann Folláin” being the Gaelic for “wholesome stout”, our full-bodied extra Irish stout is a fantastic example of how good stout can taste.

Flavours of dark chocolate tones with a hint of vanilla combine with the mild mocha aroma.

Opaque black in appearance with a tan head, this luxurious stout has a classic European hop bitterness giving a refreshing bite after the chocolate subsides.

Aroma
Mild mocha aroma with a sweet vinous note.

Aftertaste
Classic European bittering hops bring a refreshing bite after the chocolate
subsides.

BREWER'S NOTE

This full-on Irish stout is the big brother of our Irish Stout, with a hefty
malt base, including a generous portion of chocolate malt, making it
a bolder, brash version.

The extended mashing and boiling times help to generate the roast coffee
aroma with a hint of biscuit that comes through in the flavour. This stout
is built on strong old style hop varieties lending a spicy bitterness which
balances the malty aromas perfectly. This higher gravity stout is allowed the
fullness of time to completely attenuate during the fermentation process to
achieve the required ABV and that satisfying fullness of flavour.

Craft brewed with passion, we hope you savour and enjoy!

EXTRA IRISH STOUT

While the term stout is reputed to have applied to higher abv porters
in Britain, it is said that the “stout” style attributed to the Irish style originates
from the use of heavily roast malts introduced in Irish breweries after the
famine in hardened economic times (while not strong in terms of abv
the stronger roast flavoured malts lends a more robust flavour to the style
giving a dry finish – hence the term Dry Irish Stout).

In Ireland it is well documented that stout was prescribed by medical
practitioners in moderation for its rich nutrients and vitamin content.
Leann Folláin takes its name from the Gaelic “leann dubh” meaning
“dark ale/stout” and “folláin” being the Gaeilc for “wholesome”.
