You've opened the last door today on the calendar, and you're about to drink the last beer of the Beery Christmas Beer Advent Calendar for 2020. We'll end the journey of discovery with the Irish brewery Brehon. On the first day we started with a brick, today we end with an entire fort that we've built over these last 24 days!

Shanmullagh is the name of a fortress in Ireland. (By the way, we hope that your knowledge of specialty beers is just as solid by now!) But the time has come to open Shanmullagh - a Foreign Extra Stout.

Shanmullagh is almost as black as a classic Stout, but if you look closely, it's dark brown. The aroma is full of spices and woody, molasses-like and slightly acidic notes, coming from the roasted malt.

On the palate you will find a whole range of flavours such as chocolate and coffee, spices and wood. Shanmullagh has a delicate whisky flavour as it has matured in whisky barrels. The bitterness at the end is dry, with roasted flavours that have a real warming effect.

With this last beer, our daily discovery and beer tasting comes to an end (I know, we're gutted too). We hope though that this has given you as much inspiration and pleasure as it has given us! On our site you can find a wide range of unusual beers in many styles, so we hope to see you again soon. We wish you a very Merry Christmas!
