Hougly Beer Review: Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale.

[infringinator]

i cant find kilkenny anywhere! is it worth buying?

[elharlock]

@infringinator Probably still is. I haven't had it in years, and my older reviews (pretty much all of 2008) are crap, and I'd take them with a grain of salt.

[ThePGeraFuckingSucks]

It's an OK beer, but it does not live up to it's big brother, Guinness

[elharlock]

@ThePGeraFuckingSucks Guinnesss is better, yeah.

[titsbeerbong420]

I love how the guinness beer performs in the glass when poured so i'm gonna love how this one perform's. even thought i live in ontario i don't see this one sold in most liquor store locations i been in but i have a can 2 try. havnt seen a beer perform that way in a while since i had many a guinness b4 but not in a while cheer's.

[blewis618]

Oh my God! You Killed Kenny!  You Bastard!

[samm1809]

i'll be honest, i prefer carbon dioxide to nitrogen. the nitrogen just seems like nothing more than a fake advantage to me.

[elharlock]

@samm1809 I agree. The nitro widget is purely a marketing thing when you think about it, but then again, it is not bad. Sometimes I like the extra creamy feel it provides.

[serginietor]

that's a thick ass head, did cooling down the glass made it smaller?

[ShaneThompson94]

I hated this shit, tasted totally skunked to me

[Tk734]

This is a heavier, thicker beer than most lagers without quite reaching stout territory. "Guiness light" is a pretty accurate description. Nice color, smooth and creamy head, goes down very well. One of my favorites. :)

[TommyUB]

ok, sooo I'm trying to drink this smooth weird ass lager right now,,and all I really want is a damn Cold Shot. Srry I don't like this weird beer.

[titsbeerbong420]

@TommyUB i have this beer some cold shots(used 2 like them way more)and some other beers. if you came over today lol id give ya a cold shot 2 drink cheers

[Donavan68]

So did you drink all of these in one sitting?

[elharlock]

@Donavan68 Yes.

[vulcan1429]

You shook the can!?!?!

[jumar1281]

in my opinion all these "irish cream" beers have a better sounding name than the actual taste of the beer. I've tried lots and over the years i've realized i'm just not an irish cream beer. but to each his own, cheers!

[sammy13576]

tastes like mothballs

[thisishiphop101]

thanks so much !! i was lookin for this for so long I drank it back in the day and forgot what it was called

[Kurplutzo]

Tap the top of the can before you open it, son. We need to put these in junior high school vending machines.

[UltraViolence14]

i love me some dark stout

[flatliner35]

It'a just a good session beer. I like it when out at our local pub, but like you said, not even close to a Guiness. Goes great with deep fried mushrooms, and chicken wings! Cheers!

[MephistoWaits]

@flatliner35 I actually prefer this to Guinness. It's much easier to sit down and drink 6 or 8 of these than doing the same with the ol' black stuff.

[flatliner35]

@MephistoWaits I would not want to find out how one would feel after drinkig too many Guinness! I am drinking a can of Devil's Pale Ale 666, and it is fantastic! Made in Ontario by Great Lakes Brewery. 6%, 666 Kilos of malt, 6.66 kilos of hops, 66.6 min of boiling! On the back, it says "The devil made me brew it"! Cheers!

[Kurplutzo]

@flatliner35 Great Lakes brewery? We have one in Cleveland here. They don't know how to make beer.

[flatliner35]

@Kurplutzo You wouldn't know a good beer, if it fell out of the sky little man. Have a nice day jack ass! :)

[Kurplutzo]

@flatliner35 You must be gettin' paid well to commend carbonated trough water you fuckin' panzy. You can take that pathetic shit and stick up your boyfriend's ass.

[flatliner35]

@Kurplutzo Sure would be nice to meet you in person for a beer! LOL! You sound so happy! LMAO! Cheers Jack!

[Kurplutzo]

@flatliner35 A session of what? Or just more fancy meaningless beer terms. Just drink the fuckin beer asshole.

[flatliner35]

@Kurplutzo You are one dumb little puke........if someone needs to tell you what a session beer is, you really shouldn't drink.....stick with your Kool Aid son.

[Kurplutzo]

@flatliner35 You got big words for someone who drinks commercial piss water. Do you think Ballpark franks are filet mignon too? Do you know what filet mignon is? Have you ever actually drank a fuckin' beer in you life lol!!!

[flatliner35]

@Kurplutzo You now know what kind of beer I drink? Your something special fella. I drink all grain, and even kit beer, as well as macro beer, I guess I am just not good enough for the likes of you.....LOL! Get a life.

[Kurplutzo]

@flatliner35 your still on the internet? Is this where u found out what beer is? Have another Schlitz on the house mate.

[RelaxN00b]

you got me thirsty.

[Kurplutzo]

@RelaxN00b Have a Schlitz!!!

[Clutch28]

Nice color, and head due to the widget. Sweet flavors of caramel transitioning to burned toast but the burned toast is not off putting. More malty then hoppy. One of my favorites

[WarriorTheyHate101]

i just love irish beer! there awesome

[Ilikethetasteofbeer1]

from what i have understood there are another type of kilkenny too, Kilkenny Irish draught beer or something.... cant get the irish cream where i live, but another kind of kilkenny

[Gofar1898]

Im Drinkin it Right Now...:-)

[boyrichboy]

fuckin lovely drink is Kilkenny! nice smooth texture, slite sweetness in the back of the mouth, bitter and the head, oh the head is beautiful... just watchin the ale stir n change after pourin it is a thing of true beauty, its magic before ur very eyes :D also comes in a nice lookin can :D

[MephistoWaits]

For those in the US, Smithwicks is as close as you're going to get.

[musikpal]

No aroma cuase it's canned, nothing scientific, but never had any good experience with canned beer, they usually taste flat n no aroma.

Don't many people say Bud Light is agreeable n smooth? so I'm not sure if agreeable n smooth r good things. I'll just stick with Rougue Chocolate Stout, lol.

[singful]

where did you get that ????

i need more kilkenny

[Humpzilla21]

I drank this a fair amount while I was vacationing in Ireland. This and Bodington Pub Ale.

[Torakka]

You should try german ALT beer. I would say it has quite a strong and dark taste, but I believe people who like stout will also learn to love ALT. Sadly i cant find any ALT in Finland :(

[oler00]

Anyway I could get some Kilkenny here in the U.S.? I love this beer and am having a hard time finding a way to get some here.

[elharlock]

I wouldn't know. I assumed it wouldn't be hard to find in the USA, as it's a fairly popular beer.

[rogerthetodger]

wee bit of info man- The thicker head probably means you started with a "warmer than reccomended" glass. Its usually the same thinckness as guinness.

[elharlock]

Interesting. I'm going to have to test this. Thanks.

[MephistoWaits]

Great review......the Irish Tasters Pack is a great buy, and I'm about to enjoy a Kilkenny right now!

Also, Kilkenny isn't available in the US.

[Kurplutzo]

@elharlock we don't have it here. Besides, I doubt it would be the same. Like Guiness, it would probably be watered down anyways.

[unclepappy4678]

@oler00 It has apparently just been introduced to the U.S. in 2010 and has not made its way all that far from pub life. Very hard to come by at this point but is slowly spreading.

[QCacd]

Whe reason why the foam is to thick, is because you shacked it before pouring it and because you waited to long also... like you said. You can get a perfect foam with it everytime... so its not because of the can.

but really nice review, enjoyed watching em' all!

continue your good work.

[metkometko]

kilkenny is the best!!! do you know, where i could find kilkenny in cans? i am from slovenia

[elharlock]

Well, you can find the cans here in Canada, and probably in most countries that it's imported to. As far as Slovenia goes, I have no clue, man. If you can get it in bottles, stick with that.

[Kurplutzo]

@metkometko They make Kilkenny in people's basements in the balkans. Try a Lasko.

[t3hm]

It is a great beer, guinness is a bit too evil for the beginner.

[snoozlefroose]

thats not how your supposed to pour a beer though,is it? it aint good with the foam lol

[elharlock]

I didn't quite have the can at a 45 degree angle, but it was a decent pour.

Not good with the foam? A good head makes beer drinking all the more enjoyable, especially when it's a creamy one like with Kilkenny or Guinness. Presentation is part of the enjoyment.

[snoozlefroose]

well i didnt say it doesn't look good but the foam doesnt really taste good..and you have to wait longer to drink it lol.

[canada1113]

lol u must be someone who drinks a lot of lager if u don't like a beautiful head

[snoozlefroose]

i didnt say it doesnt look good but it takes longer to settle and the beer might get warm..cuz i cant drink enough for it not to get warm waiting for it to settle lol.

[HERRAKISUU]

Kilkenny is deffinetly my fauvorite irish beer, guinness and other stouts r rly good but Kilkenny haves that kind of incredible smoothness and drinkability that i dont know in any other beer xD

[elharlock]

Yeah, it's good shit, for sure.

[martinsteiner]

kilkenny is nice..is not quit as creamy as guinness an has a smaller head but its still nice

[elharlock]

Yes indeed.:)

[pitor]

Love this beer ^^
