Mild mannered seemed like the correct approach in recovery mode after the COMDB AGM (Annual Golf Meeting) so a nice easy going Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale seemed to like a good idea at the time. The name “Kilkenny” reminded me of the show South Park and poor Kenny suffering a gruesome demise at the end of each episode.
Already digressing two sentences in, not a good sign.
Widget on board so nitro pop on ignition, a traditional Irish Cream pour which you would expect from Guinness who have some savoir faire* when it comes to brews of the cream variety.
Love to see that pour morph from cream to a perfect pour. It has a mild malt nose. A very creamy full mouthfeel with a very light malt bread flavour, very smooth. It is making me crave an Irish stout. Very light malt flavour no bitters or bite.
As smooth as Clark Gable but as mild as Clark Kent. Instead of “Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn” you get “Frankly Lois, I don’t give a darn”.** Doesn’t make for the most impactful movie quote does it? What it does make for is an odd and slightly dysfunctional combination. The can specifies “Serve Extra Cold”. It definitely needs to be as cold as a walk on the darkside of the moon*** because as it warms it has a bit of an aftertaste.
It is as close to no flavour as one can get and still be a called a beer.
