    Pretty good stout I enjoyed it I know myself my pallet has changed and seem to loose most stouts these days didn't used to though. If your in the UK you should try theakstons barista stout that's pretty good quite a strong coffee flavour but pretty creamy probably class it in the ohara vibe of having more flavour liking it but not being able to spend all day on it

    Hey, love watching from Canada! Be great to see you do a vid from Abbeyleix, just north of Kilkenny! The famous Morrissey’s, Benny’s, J. Bergin, Mooney’s etc…. Also Bob’s Bar in Durrow just down the road. Was over from Canada last week and the pint I had in Mooney’s rivaled the one I had at Gravediggers and Mulligans, although they were fabulous of course! (and the owner, John I think, was quite a character) Anyway just a suggestion, it a BEAUTIFUL town and decent pints!

That there London village scares me it’s big and Smokey and crowded but I’m a massive fan of Peter Kay so I braved it. Anyhoo I digress the point is I went into a brew dog in Canary Wharf and had a pint of Black Heart on tap and I was pretty impressed ( I know brew dog is contra version but the pint let’s focus on the pint ) was decent. I’d have done a vid on my channel but the background noise was unmanageable London is super loud. Great vid as always cheers 👍🍻

    The nitro cans of O'Hara's stout are the best thing you can buy outside of Guinness IMO. I'd put it above Murphys and Beamish, and I wouldn't be a craft beer fan at all. But the cans of O'Haras are supreme. Only pain in the bollox is they're 440ml cans, which is why I never buy it and just drink Guinness cans at home.

    What I found with both is that the first couple of sups aren’t great but it improves after that.

      Mackeson Stout
      Mackeson Stout.png
      Type Milk stout
      Industry Alcoholic beverage
      Founded 1907
      Headquarters Hythe, Kent, England
      Products Beer
      Owner Anheuser-Busch InBev
      Mackeson Stout is a milk stout first brewed in 1907. It contains lactose, a sugar derived from milk.
      Milk stout[edit]
      Milk stout (also called sweet stout, mellow stout or cream stout) is a stout containing lactose, a sugar derived from milk. Lactose cannot be fermented by brewers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and the residue adds sweetness, body and calories to the finished beer. Mackeson still bears on its label the milk churn that has been its trademark since it was first brewed in 1907.
      Milk stout was believed to be nutritious, and was recommended to nursing mothers. In 1875, John Henry Johnson first sought a patent for a milk beer, based on whey, lactose and hops.[1]
      History[edit]
      Mackeson's Brewery of Hythe, Kent first released the beer in 1909 to celebrate the 240th anniversary of brewing in Hythe.[2] They patented it and licensed it to breweries across the country,[2] so it quickly became a national brand and attracted numerous imitators. Whitbread acquired the brand in 1929.[3] By the 1950s, it accounted for half of Whitbread's production and was brewed in London, Stockport, Kirkstall and Hythe.[4]
      Brewing at the Hythe plant ended in 1968.[5] The beer was then brewed at the Exchange Brewery in Sheffield. When that was closed in 1993, Whitbread moved production to their Castle Eden and Samlesbury plants. From May 1999, then Vaux brewery until production was contracted out to Young's Brewery of Wandsworth.[3] Whitbread was purchased in 2001 by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev). Production was then moved to Camerons Brewery of Hartlepool before moving to Hydes Brewery in Manchester until March 2012.
      Advertisements[edit]
      A long-lasting television advertising campaign with the actor Bernard Miles contained the catch-phrase that Mackeson "looks good, tastes good and, by golly, it does you good."[6]
      For some years, Mackeson has been a 'ghost brand' in the UK - still produced and sold but without advertising or promotion.
      Versions[edit]
      In 2012, its ABV was lowered from 3% to 2.8% in order to qualify for duty relief. It is available in 330ml cans and 275ml bottles.
      A 4.9% Mackeson's XXX is brewed by Carib Brewery in Trinidad for the local market where it is targeted at young men, with the advertising slogan "king of the night".[7] The Trinidadian version is a popular import into Hong Kong, and is among the top twenty highest selling beers there, selling over 500,000 litres a year.[8]
      British-brewed Mackeson's XXX was imported by a division of Hudepohl-Schoenling of Cincinnati for the US market. This division became Royal Imports after a restructuring in the late 1990s and for a brief while in the early 2000s Royal had the "Triple Stout" contracted brewed in the US, first at the former Hudepohl brewery now owned by Boston Beer Company and then at The Lion in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
      Try this.

      @@oscarosullivan4513 Remember I had the ones in the cans not from the tap. So I feel that it has a bitterness to it.

    I ordered a Guinness in Laos (South - East Asia) and yer man poured it above five times, there was more head than body, new style and warm glass. He charged me €7 . I nearly f*cked it back at him.

    Don't Understand your comments about beamish, I'm in my 30s and can drink beamish all day long, your pallet has a long way to come yet, beamish and guinness are similar in my opinion
