So, I’ve been seeing this Forged Irish Stout popping up everywhere. It’s that beer from Conor McGregor, you know, the UFC fighter? Yeah, that guy. I figured, why not give it a shot? I mean, the dude’s intense, maybe his beer is too, in a good way.
First off, finding it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. It’s not like it’s at every corner store, you feel me? I did some digging online, and saw that Amazon had it in stock, so I ordered a few cans from there. Apparently it is a big hit right now, and a lot of pubs are starting to stock it as well. I’ve heard that the place that made this, LWC, has managed to get this beer into over 500 different places in just the last few months. That’s pretty nuts, right?
When the package came, I was ready. I chilled a can in the fridge for a bit, ’cause nobody likes a warm stout, am I right? Popped it open, and the first thing I noticed was that classic stout look – dark as night, creamy head. Looked promising.
Took a sip, and whoa. It’s got that roasted, coffee-ish thing going on, with a hint of chocolate. I saw online that someone said it best: “It has the same cozy drinking experience that a Guinness offers, but with a slightly, and just about perfectly, more pronounced flavor profile.” I agree. It’s definitely smooth, like, really smooth. It goes down easy. Not too heavy, but still has that richness you want from a stout.
I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not just some celebrity trying to cash in. This is a legit beer. Like, I could see myself chilling with a few of these on a weekend, you know?
Here’s the breakdown of what I liked about it:
- Taste: It’s got a solid, roasty flavor. Not bitter, more like a dark chocolate or a strong coffee.
- Feel: Super smooth. I mean, some stouts can be a bit much, but this one’s just easy to drink.
- Overall: It’s a good beer. It’s not just hype. I’d actually buy it again.
So, if you’re into stouts, or even if you’re just curious, I’d say give Forged Irish Stout a try. It’s worth it. Just don’t expect to find it everywhere, you might need to do a little searching. But trust me, it’s a good one.
