Boston Irish Stout
Harpoon's Boston Irish Stout is sessionable dry stout done right — at 4.3%, it trades imperial weight for creamy texture, roasted malt depth, and a clean, smooth finish that never punches above its ABV. Full-bodied but never heavy, it drinks like a confident neighborhood regular who knows exactly who they are. The kind of stout you can have two of without regret.
