Beer Review – James Brown Brews: Orange Chocolate Stout

James Brown is a young man in his 20s who started home brewing when he was 18. His tried and tested recipe for an orange chocolate stout was good enough to go commercial, so he went to the Brú brewery in Meath and brewed it.

The beer won bronze at the Dublin beer cup earlier this year and was just crowned the Beoir: Champion Beer of Ireland at the Killarney Beer Awards in June.

The beer is your classic dry Irish stout with grated orange peel to complement the beer. The result is an easy drinking, typical stout with roast coffee notes and chocolate. There’s a very subtle caramelised orange in the finish but this is designed to complement so don’t expect it to taste like a piece of Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
