As a person of Irish descent, I saw a beer called “Irish Death” and I had to try it! Also, I didn’t see any reviews of breweries starting with the letter ‘I’ on this site. I have had this on tap before, and I think it’s better that way. From the bottle, the mouthfeel is that of a lighter, standard ale, bordering on watery. It goes down very smooth. True-to-it’s-name smooth. The aftertaste is of alcohol, although not entirely unpleasant. It’s nowhere near as malty or smoky tasting as the color would suggest and as I remember it from the tap. However, this is a beer that the more you drink, the better it tastes. The alcohol taste goes away after a few good pulls. There is almost no hop flavor. Even though the picture shows a lot of head, it dies quickly and the beer is not very carbonated. I would not start out the night with this beer. This would make a great second beer of the night, or would go well with salty snacks or a meal, like a thick Irish lamb stew. In a bread bowl.
