Nuts and beer. Beer and nuts. Go together like …..well beer and nuts. So some bright spark has decided to put them together and come up with beery nuts.
Packaging: Being Guinness branded, they’re in quality packaging with the black wrapping and distinctive gold harp. They look pricey – and they are £1.49 for 90g.
Taste: The packaging says they are “seasoned with the flavours of Guinness and Steak”. They have a deep flavour and fairly sweet. A bit more-ish but given them blind I would have been hard pushed to identify the flavour as Guinness I think.
Verdict: They’re something a bit different – a lot less harsh and bitty than a standard dry roast. Why not try them with beer?

I had these last week and I agree, you can’t really guess it’s Guinness. They are quite nice though – remind me of dry roasted with a bit of ‘je ne sais quoi’.
