Franciscan Well Shandon Stout has a remarkably light style of it’s own….Tall, dark and handsome, a drink that’s deliciously different and an instant hit with indulgent food. With roasted rich flavours, choclately hints and a dry Irish character, it’s a stout that’s truly an attractive alternative.

Keg @ Druid’s Chair, Mullingar [071114]
Little on the nose. Taste of soft cocoa, soft toffee malt, quite creamy, very mellow roast, not as rich as it used to be, sweet candy puff, vague dark fruit...much blander now. What a shame. It’s macro not craft now. Down from 3.7 to 3.1
Keg @ Hargadons Bros, Sligo [160813] 6/4/8/4/15 3.7
Very dark brown, ruby edges, tan dense nitro head
Aroma - Touch of dry roasted malt, not getting much here
Taste - Soft roasted malts, chocolate, dark quite sweet malts, dab of chocolate ice cream(!)
Palate - soft carb, medium body, very creamy texture, quite sweet dark malts with some bitter roast. Finish as main flavour, smooth. little dry, fairly rapid finish, cleans off palate
Overall - Very smooth, really nice chocolately sweet dark malts, great alternative to Guinness

Sample at the brewpub. Pours flat black with a medium creamy tan head that recedes slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt and coffee. Light-bodied with a roasty character of coffee and malt, plus a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is sweet with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent all around.
