Irish Admins: Lough Gill Dark Majik

Beer Talk
#1

I believe that two beers may be the same:

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lough-gill-rebel-stout-series-1-imperial-oatmeal-coffee-cream-stout/490699/
And
https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lough-gill-dark-majik/687918/

They seem to be the same on UT, and their ABV and component parts seem the same.

Basically, do we have any Irish admins that can look into this?

#2

Good chance its the same beer but nothing conclusive

No real active Irish admins these days … I tend to verify beers from Ireland and tidy up any obvious errors as I come across them

Think the only way to settle this one would be to try emailing the brewery

I will endeavor to email the brewery and see if ai can resolve. I will post the results of such investigation.

Just go ahead and edit if you get a clear answer … like I said there seems to be no active Irish admins at present.

Of all the admins I tend to rate the most Irish beers so I verify and tidy up obvious errors as and when.

#5

I checked Untappd merge logs for that beer and they appear to be the same. Rebel Stout #1 has been merged into Dark Majik numerous times whenever it’s been recreated with notes saying it was an older name that’s no longer in use.

#6

Any sense if this was done by the brewery itself?

Just checked again and I see now that yes the brewery itself did rename it from “The Rebel Stout Series #1 - Imperial Oatmeal Coffee Cream Stout” to “Dark Majik - Imperial Oatmeal Coffee Cream Stout”.

That was back in June 2018. Pm’ed you.
