Transcript

00:00I don't think we should be talking about your sausage when I'm blindfolded with shit.

00:03Hi, I'm David Ellis. I'm here with Richard Corrigan.

00:06And we're going to find out, does a world-famous Irish chef know his pints blindfolded?

00:14My spidey senses are saying, not Guinness.

00:18That's not Guinness. I don't think that's Gibney's either. I think that's Beamish.

00:21I'm going to say this is Beamish. Certainly says it has that rosy chocolatey notes.

00:33Oh, it's Gibney's, no doubt.

00:34I've always felt, God, that's a real stout. That's a proper stout. That just doesn't feel.

00:42It's got really a good, strong flavour. But the Beamish was also delicious. And now I'm confused.

00:48Yeah, it is Gibney's. It is Gibney's.

00:50That's quite chocolatey. That has to be Gibney's. That has to be Gibney's.

00:56I hope this tastes of nothing. Because sometimes I think that's what Guinness tastes like.

01:04Give me my Gibney's now. That's Guinness.

01:09It's the worst stout on the table. I'm going to be honest with you right now.

01:12Yeah, that tastes just like Guinness.

01:13That tastes just like Guinness.

01:14Do you know something? When you taste it blind, honestly, you have a different perception of those stouts.

01:19I'm going to say one was Beamish, two was Gibney's, three was Guinness, and in order of flavour, two, one,

01:26three.

01:27First one was Beamish, second one was Gibney's, third one was stout.

01:31Gibney's, a proper Dublin stout by Tony Gibney. This wins.

01:36If you're having my lovely smoky, sausage, cheesy sausage, I think Gibney's will be perfect.

01:40I don't think we should be talking about your sausage when I'm blindfolded with shit.

01:44Yeah, sorry.

01:45I think, I think, but think about it with food.

01:49Yeah.

01:49Do you know what? Guinness, Guinness is drank, you don't, you don't drink Guinness with food.

01:53No way. You could drink these two with food.

01:57Oh, we got it right. Okay, phew.

01:59Bravo, arse.

02:01Sancha.

02:02Happy St. Patrick's Day.

02:03St. Patrick's Day.
