George Killian's Irish Stout

Killian's Irish Red has been a perennial St. Patrick's Day favorite, but I'd never encountered the stout. This new discovery poured a dark brunette with red highlights. The head was a frothy tan that laced the side of the glass as it receded.  Not the best stout that I've ever tasted, but pretty solid, and a good recommendation for a first time stout drinker, even if it's closer to a medium porter than a stout. That being said, there's some tastiness - coffee notes and roasted malt as well. Enjoy some on St. Patrick's Day - slainte!
