Once upon a time in Irish 'pub culture', a man would have a pint of Guinness while his female companion would have the ladies drink of Guinness with a dash of blackcurrant squah/cordial. I suppose a craft beer version is long overdue. Poured well from the can and left a nice bubbly, deeply chocolatey, brown body with one finger of foamy, mocha coloured head. Aromas of black coffee, with black chocolate bringing a little sweetness. Some generic dried fruit can be found lingering at the back and after a few seconds the blackcurrant emerges out of this. Although, the chocolate intensifies too and remains the dominant scent in there. Moutheel is foamy for the first half but flat for the second, not in a strictly bad way. It is still medium bodied, maintains a smoothness and doesn't tread into 'creamy' territory. Taste is gentle dried fruits at the start, again not explicitly blackcurrant. Then the chocolate rolls in before getting pushed aside by the coffee. Both pass uneventfully as the dried fruit returns and takes up it's place in the aftertaste. A fairly generic stout, that didn't promise too much, then fell short anyway. Still a decent dry stout.
