Our first beer from the revived Sullivan’s Brewing Company is Maltings Irish Red Ale. It’s a refreshingly balanced, ruby tinted classic Irish ale with a depth of malt flavour giving rich biscuit and gentle caramel notes.

On tap at Haka, pours a clear dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma has soft dry bready malt and a pronounced English malt character. Flavour is dry, with plenty of bready malt and some earthiness. Bready, earthy, lightly sweet malty finish. Okay.

500ml bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a clear ruby amber, off-white head. Good quencher.. nice and light.. light caramelised tint, bready malt with distant dried fruit suggestions. Should really be drunk by the pint to fully appreciate but a nice break from the stouts.

Bottle at BBGG. Caramel malts, grassy hops, earthy, dried plums and berries. Just medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bouteille 50cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Matt.
BB?
Cuivrée, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet malté, fin caramel, léger grillé en retrait avec un caractère classique de houblons nobles anglais en support. Reste centrée sur une délicate note grillée-toastée.
Palais sur un effervescence assez faiblarde le tout passe presque pour un côté ‘nitro’ – onctuosité pas déplaisante. Malt pâle, houblons anglais avec une amertume latente offrant qcq nuances terreuses et herbacées.

440 ml can, as Sullivan's Maltings Irish Ale, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.0%. Dark cola to mahogany colour, moderate off-white to beige head. Aroma of brown malts, hints of prunes and red wine. Distinctly malty flavour, not too sweet, notes of dark bread, hints of burnt breadcrumbs and prunes. Very moderate but noticeable bittering hops in the finish. .

Pours amber with a big light beige head. Smells of toasted caramel malt. The malty flavor is all about the caramel and to me it’s toastier than most examples of this style. Some mild herbal hops provides balance. This works well and is malty but not overly sweet.
