    Excellent offering for St. Patrick's Day

    Got this for the express purpose of putting something together for friends at St. Pat's. Just finished fermenting and force carbonated and legged half of it. Gave it its test run just yesterday. Dark smooth creamy delicious with a nice roasted grain/cofffee flavor balanced very well by northern pellet hops bitterness. Very pleased with Kilbane Irish Stout

    Tasty stout!

    I brewed this last year to rave reviews. In my experience the longer in the bottle the smoother it becomes. Highly recommend if you are a stout drinker.

    Gets better with longer conditioning

    I liked this beer - nice head not too bitter but the first bottle I opened didn’t exactly have the maltiness that I was hoping for. I left it for a week longer and the flavor had developed well. I will try another one after a week and let’s see how that turns out.
