A classic Irish dry stout served on nitro, this smooth and roasty dark beer is our take on a Guinness. Each sip brings waves of bitter chocolate and fresh roasted coffee, coupled with a smooth body from the nitro tap. Despite its heartiness, this beer is super drinkable, so you can throw a few back reveling in whatever your night brings. Finnegan's Wake is brewed annually in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Nitro draught at Broadway, 8/1/26.
Unless that's a lot of molasses character and salted toffee, that smells like a lot of diacetyl. Yeah, really just getting diacetyl here, not even much roast.
Huh. Now it tastes like a creamy latte. I guess that's actually just toffee, molasses and buttercream from the malts/water. Wow. Hell, even if it is diacetyl, it's God damned delicious. This is much more flavorful and complex than most dry stouts. Bigger body and texture than usual, too, but still properly attenuated. Whatever that butter toffee molasses character is, it's incredible.
