Always fun to add a beer from my favorite brewer. (Untappd has 79 ratings, so let's move it BA-ers.)
Looks are neither lively nor the bubbles tight; barely above average for the milk style. Smells? Well, you got to have a second sniff to put the mint in its proper place. The sweet malts and vanilla balance in my nose. Really the same on the palate. I was expecting a smoother and creamier Feel; but nothing wrong with these active bubbles.
I'm liking how Off Color expands its line of lower-ABV beers... within that, its "Serf Style" micro-line is emerging again for the first time in several years (last one was Myska, if one is to trust my memory.) OCB also is using mint successfully; last previous one I had is a Dino rendition. So I'm guessing Shamrock seems to be a mint-take on the dry Stoutling; although the malt bills have some differences and the hops are different. Shamrock's ABV ends up .33 ABV higher. So, I'll have to do a test taste side-by-side soon to test my dubious hypothesis. Gartha' ! (Cheers in Irish.)
3/11/23 I aired out the second can for a bit and the mint was less prominent. Shamrock still was suitable to cap the afternoon and kept my motor functions sober enough to chop vegetables for dinner. A nice stout and I'll probably finish the 4-pack I got from Mousetrap.
