Co-Conspirators Dry Irish Stout: A New Suspect in the Lineup

Just when you thought you knew all the players, a new shadow joins the lineup. Co-Conspirators introduces the latest addition to their 'Usual Suspects' core range: a classic Dry Irish Stout. This is a nod to the timeless, comforting, and deceptively simple stouts that have been a cornerstone of brewing for centuries.

Arriving just as the Melbourne Spring begins to bloom this September, this stout is a firm reminder that true classics are welcome in any season. It’s the perfect brew for those cooler evenings when the memory of winter still lingers, or simply for anyone who believes that stout season never truly ends.

Flavour Profile & The Experience

Tasting Notes

This stout pours a deep, opaque black, settling in the glass to reveal a thick, creamy, and long-lasting tan head—the unmistakable sign of a classic. The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of freshly roasted coffee, dark baker's chocolate, and a subtle hint of earthy grain. The first sip delivers a masterful balance of flavour; a bold, coffee-like bitterness from roasted barley takes centre stage, complemented by notes of dark cocoa. True to its name, it remains beautifully dry and smooth, never cloying.

For the Lover of Timeless Classics

This isn't a pastry stout; it's a proper stout. It’s a nod to the timeless pubs of Dublin, brewed with a Co-Conspirators edge right here in Brunswick. Despite its dark appearance and rich taste, the body is medium-light with that famously creamy texture that makes this style so endlessly drinkable. It’s the perfect partner for rich, hearty food—pair it with a beef pie, fresh oysters, or a decadent chocolate dessert.
