About This Beer

Irish Table is the 2014 GABF Gold Medal winner, the grandaddy of all beer competitions!

Fonta Flora’s classic Irish Dry Stout is a staple of the brewery’s lineup. And it’s no nonsense – a pure, unadulterated dark beer, and a legend in the eyes of North Carolina craft fans!

Tasting Notes

Bittersweet cacao notes lead into roasted malt. The finish comes with that signature hint of sourness, and just a light touch of earthiness to settle the palate. Any St. Patty’s celebration needs a finely crafted Dark Stout, and this is just the traditional flavor that’ll have the party in full swing!

Dark, roasted malt aroma, creamy tan head, effervescent, toasted brown bread, dark cocoa, and coffee flavors, dry, easy drinking, light-bodied, slightly bitter finish.

Black ! Nice roasted malt aroma and flavor with light bitter sweet chocolate and coffee character. Great balance; much better than Guinness. Light to medium bodied with a dry roasted finish. 🇺🇸⚽️🇮🇱

Roasty? How about burnt. Worse though? Very off putting smell. Can may have turned, but down the sink it had to go!

Can taste the fire over how overly roasted this is

Roasty on the nose. Super dry, bitter, & burnt on the palate without much else going on. Pretty dry finish. Tavour was wise to package this with three others because I can’t imagine they would’ve sold many otherwise.

Very very very dry. Not even a touch sweet. Just smoked and roasted and extremely dark. Not really worse for the wear because of it, just maybe not quite my speed.

This is a classic, no-frills stout: roasted coffee, bitter cocoa, dry as a desert, with a hint of sourness on the palate with each sip. The flavors are both clean and balanced, but there is not an ounce of sweetness to be found. It’s delicious, but just not my speed.
