O'Farrelliegh Stout
This beer uses honey and flavored coffee beans to create a rich, full
flavored beer. It does need to spend a lot of time in the bottle to
balance out the flavors. Before the edit, the beer began to taste
good about three months after bottling. With the higher alcohol
content, I suspect this beer will be best between 6 months and a year.
