Drinks in barrels dodgy dealer smuggled in ship (6)

I believe the answer is:

stouts

'drinks in barrels' is the definition.
(type of beer)

'dodgy dealer smuggled in ship' is the wordplay.
'dodgy dealer' becomes 'tout' (someone who sells things illegally).
'smuggled in' is an insertion indicator.
'ship' becomes 'ss'.
'tout' placed into 'ss' is 'STOUTS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
