Delaney's Shamrock Stout
RJ Rockers Brewing Company

 

Served from tap at Delaney's Irish Pub in Spartanburg into a shaker. Poured basically black with a red hue around the edges when held up to the light with a one finger tan head that remained throughout. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of massive sweet malt and sugar. The flavor was of sweet malt, milk, brown sugar, and butterscotch on the followthrough. It had a medium feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was not a bad brew at all. With that said, this wasn't my favorite stout I've had, but it was still quite tasty. Had lots of unique flavors going on in this one that I haven't had in other stouts. The good thing about this is that they came in waves rather than just all crashing into your palate all at once. Definitely worth trying if you like stouts and happen to find yourself in Delaney's in Spartanburg.

Had this on tap at the St. Pattys Dayfest in Spartanburg this morning. It was poured into a little grren souvenier mug. Was a nice dark black, with a small cream colored head that faded quickly. Smell was roasted caramel, some coffeeas well. Not overally strong but pleasent. The tastewas a bit waterery and thin, but not bad. Sweet with hints of chocolate and coffee. A bit thin. Nice dry finish. Overall not bad, would like to try this one again as a plastic glass is no way to have a beer!
