The multinational company is testing consumer reaction to its formula: a creamy latte inspired by Irish stout.
Starbucks is known for its flavoursome creations, from Salted Caramel Mochas to Cookie and Cream Frappucinos.
Kinda disappointed I wasted my @Starbucks bday reward on a Dark Barrel Latte. Tastes like fruit flavored coffee. #notgood
