Recycling the recycled. Today I found that our Guinness is almost expired. And I have also quite some bottles of Jameson laying around, which are not moving fast. As in this link , I did it already before - and now I will do it again - making an Irish Stout Liqueur. My bartender looked at the Guinness reduction [not yet finished the whole thing] and said: gonna make Irish Coffee with it? Eureka! A malty, sweet, wonderful Irish Stout Coffee… I will let you know, how it is...

I still remember, that this beer liqueur was awesome. Quite bitter, but a lot of maltiness. Need to do this again! Just enjoy one very old blog post of mine... Friday, 14 September 2007 Irish Beer Liqueur Jamie Boudreau posted few days ago his quest to make a beer liqueur! Very good idea Jamie - so there is another challenge. Jamie did the whole thing with Belgium styled ale.  Hm, I am not from the it-has-to-be-fruity-fraction and my thoughts were more to benefit of the bitterness of the beer. And unfortunately there are not so many interesting beers around in Dubai - so I went into my store room and found: Irish Stout! We had few cans of Kilkenny, I thought of initially- but we already sold them all; so Guinness supposed to be fine for my experiment. I cooked it down (took the foam sentiments of), added first maple syrup and then a bit sugar. I tried and I felt that I am on the right way! But this spiciness supposed to be supported...
