Can you point that thing somewhere else, please.

I sure wouldn’t be feeling lucky with a steely eyed Dirty Harry sticking a 44 magnum in my face, no matter how many shots I thought he had fired. But I do feel lucky pouring a Get Lucky Irish Stout from our favourite flamingo fronted brewer, the Daft brew crew, and their collab craft partner Merit. K-Town and Steel Town getting down to business. **

How about a St. Patrick’s Day theme for a New Year’s Eve celebration. Isn’t that the trend these days, going green? Celebrating with the luck of the Irish sounds like a good way to kick off a new year. Although I’m not to sure how lucky the Irish are, they had that potato famine and Bono too, didn’t they.***

Time to get to Get Lucky. As black as a blackjack Ace and King of Spades, but no head on these face cards. The malt roast, the cocoa, it’s all there on the nose. First taste is cocoa light malt with some backend cocoa bitters, very nice. Enough cocoa to appreciate and enjoy, but not quite enough to call it a chocolate stout. A lighter mouthfeel than some stouts, not a creamy nitro, more of a black lager consistency, not Throwing Shade there, just stating the facts. Great flavour, nice balance, a black beauty.
Looks like all my bad luck has just run out. A Daft shout out for their tasty stout which Merits not only consideration, but high praise as well.
*Editor’s Comment: The complete quote is “You’re thinking “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Now to tell you the truth, I’ve forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is a 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk? From the 1971 movie “Dirty Harry” starring Clint Eastwood. It spawned four sequels.
