Spéartha Dorcha
Spéartha Dorcha is brewed with traditional stout malts, restrained hopping and Clew Bay oysters added to the boil, then fermented with Belgian yeast. It pours dark ruby and is medium-bodied. Nose and palate share malt, chocolate and coffee with plum and prune, plus a faint note of the sea. The long, balanced finish carries some minerality and ends slightly bitter.
