The marriage of two quintessentially Irish drinks – the flavours of an Irish Coffee in medium bodied stout. Did you know that the Irish coffee was invented at Foynes airport in Ireland to warm up transatlantic aircrew? And was originally made with instant coffee? We coldsteeped some fine coffee beans from a local roastery to bring out the coffee flavour without the bitterness leaving a smooth coffee taste and aroma.
“Dark brown in colour and with a tan head, this stout brings rich coffee notes aromatically, but think a cup of coffee with cream in it rather than, say, a more bitter espresso. (Also in there on the nose are lovely roasted malt and modest cocoa notes.) Those creamy coffee and roasted-malt notes are quite tasty on the medium-bodied, chewy palate, bringing rich and balanced flavours without too much sweetness before a smooth finish. It’s a modest 4.5 per cent alcohol, doesn’t bring any manner of bitterness and, quite frankly, is completely delicious. ★★★★½” Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, Winnipeg Free Press
