Brewed at Rye River Brewing's Celbridge facility in County Kildare, this Irish Stout from The Crafty Brewing Company delivers straightforward character: coffee and chocolate aromas lead into a full-bodied but balanced palate. The brewers employ specialty roasted malts—pale, melanoidin, amber, carafa and torrified barley—plus assertive bittering hops to build flavour depth.

At 4.5% ABV, this is a welcoming entry point to the style rather than a heavyweight. Dark roasted grain shines through with notes of caramel supporting the dominant coffee and chocolate notes. The beer earned bronze at the World Beer Awards 2021 in the Stout & Porter category.
