This spring's Irish Roots mix box includes old standard Irish Red (reviewed here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/02/sunday-night-suds-saranac-irish-red.html), the Always Hazy Peach IPA (reviewed here -https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/02/sunday-night-suds-saranac-always-hazy.html) as well as Irish Golden Pils (reviewed here - http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/04/sunday-night-suds-saranac-irish-golden.html) and the Irish Coffee Cream.
The good folks at Saranac tout this beer as a combination of a Cream Stout with cold brew coffee and Irish Cream. While I seriously doubt that there is any Bailey's in this beer (especially since Bailey's is not kosher), this beer was a delicious combination of flavors. The initial pour yielded a light brown beer with nice foam and strong coffee aroma. However, this was not a stout by any means and you would not confuse this with a Guinness, despite the claimed 5.8% abv. As there are three bottles of this in the mix box, I tried this cold, slightly cold and room temperature. Unlike most beers, this was actually more enjoyable at room temperature and the Cream Stout aspect of the beer became more prominent. I would recommend having this beer after dinner (the newest KB did not enjoy this with his Shabbos meal) as its meant to be sipped.
The Irish Coffee Cream is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as is every other beer produced at the Matt Brewery plant in Utica, NY. Keep in mind, Saranac brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.
