Stout of Control: World's First Official Guinness Milk Shake launches in London

To keep us drinking the black stuff in the heat. 

Made with half a pint of Guinness and set to split opinions & tastebuds (not just the G).

London’s milkshake game is about to be shaken (and stirred) with the launch of the world’s first official Guinness milk shake, dropping in the capital this June.

Landing at Black Tap Soho and Westfield Stratford on Sunday 9th June, this shake comes supercharged with a half pint of Guinness. Yes, really - there’s an actual half pint of the black stuff blended right into a load of soft serve ice cream. 

Prefer to keep it booze-free? There’s a 0.0% version too.

Rich, creamy, and indulgent, this is Guinness like you’ve never tasted it before. Simple, bold, and all about the flavour - it’s the perfect way to keep sipping the black stuff all summer long.

Forget a pint and a packet of crisps, this beast is lined with chocolate sauce, poured into a glass with a frosted vanilla rim rolled in white chocolate chips, and topped with a towering swirl of whipped cream. 

For those wanting to go bigger, there’s also the Guinness CrazyShake®, where Black Tap takes it to a whole new level. This over-the-top version starts with the same Guinness base but then piles on the toppings in true Black Tap fashion, including a whole slice of homemade Guinness cake. 

Yes, it’s over the top. Yes, it’s brilliant. Yes, your phone will eat it first.

Whether you're a Guinness devotee or just here for the dessert drama, this is your sign to ditch the pint glass and pick up a shake straw. Pint? Dessert? Cake? Why choose.

From the glass to the blender, this is Guinness like you’ve never tasted it before.
