Shamrock 'n Roll! First brewed in 2005, this traditional Irish Stout calms the ire of the clans with it’s delicious roast coffee aroma, smooth, creamy mouthfeel, and exquisitely dry finish with subtle notes of coffee and chocolate. Raise a bottle or a pint of this hearty, 5% abv, deep garnet masterpiece instead of arms and all grievances will be forgiven.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall tan head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, a bit of vanilla, some lactose and cream and a touch of cherries near the tail end. Medium-bodied; Very dry malty flavour with a good deal of lactose, some irish creme and full cream notes, a touch of grass and dry herbs, but ending with a dose of coffee and some more roasted malt notes. Aftertaste shows some of the coffee bitterness with a dose of the dry roasted malt notes with a light vanilla note, some oak dryness as well with cream and irish cream towards the end. Overall, a nice and dry malt note with some coffee and light chocolate bitterness towards the end with a good complexity for the alcohol and style, while remaining quite easy to drink and soft around the edges. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 29-April-2018 for US$3,97 sampled at home in Washington a few blocks away on 02-June-2018 with my brother-in-law Brett.

Very roasty malts with some coffee and light herbal tones. Smooth, medium mouthfeel. Light caramel malts with just a touch of smoke. I thought this was a solid stout, actually, and could have downed a few of them.

A thin tan head floats over this opaque black brew. There is a clean roasty aroma that carries a resemblence to espresso. The flavor is roasty though not burnt or bitter, yet this isn’t sweet either. To nit pick, I’d like a bit more body here, but this is still quite quaffable.

Poured a totally opaque black with a whispy, lacing, slightly off white head. Aroma is all roasted malt and nuts. Flavor is heavy roasted malt, hints of coffee, smoke and wood. Smooth on the tongue with a below average bitterness on the finish. Definitely a session beer, one that doesn’t get old the more you drink it.
