What’s that 1913 Stout? I keep seeing it around on the posters and meaning to try it.
TEENAGE BARPERSON
It’s, er, got chocolate and coffee, er, flavours, and it’s, er, smooth. [Suddenly remembering] Vanilla!
CUSTOMER
It’s actually got coffee and chocolate in? Wow. That sounds interesting.
TEENAGE BARPERSON
It’s an old recipe. They found this old recipe, or something, and, like, brewed it up again, to the old recipe, and that.
CUSTOMER
And they were using chocolate and coffee in beer back then, where they?
TEENAGE BARPERSON
[Totally baffled, backing away] They were, were they? I didn’t know that.

THE CUSTOMER TAKES THE BOTTLE BACK TO THE TABLE.
CUSTOMER’S PARTNER
What’s this? Stout? I don’t like stout. Too bitter.
CUSTOMER
No, this is chocolate flavoured, apparently. [Tastes] Ooh, ah, blimey, yeah… Coffee and chocolate and, er, um, vanilla.
CUSTOMER’S PARTNER
[Reading] There’s nothing about chocolate on the ingredients list.
CUSTOMER
Oh. Weird. [Sheepish] Actually, to be honest, it just tastes like sweet Guinness to me.
