Shamrock
Shamrock is a strong Irish breakfast stout. Irish barley malt and a blend of seven specialty malts give it pronounced roasted, toffee and chocolate flavours. It is fermented with a stout yeast and infused with freshly roasted, ground coffee beans before packaging, which adds a clear coffee note. At 7.5 % the beer is big-bodied and full in flavour.
