When you get an idea you just can’t shake, you need to see it through. Big Black Apple is such an idea. A black licorice and apple sour beer. Alluring like an 80’s black light poster. Something different!

A couple of years ago we did a low ABV beer called Black Apple. A apple and licorice sour beer. A black sour beer! We took inspiration from a candy doing that. Since then, that beer has beer one of out most requested beers to bring back. So, we brought it back, only a little bigger. It still has all the properties of the original beer. All the ’weirdaties’. Somewhere between fantasy and reality.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Brief foamy beige head. Spicy nose with notes of sweet liquorice, green apples, black bread and chocolate. Spicy tart taste with liquorice, green apples, black-currant, black bread and chocolate. Low bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Lots of liquorice and green apples. Weird, but it works better than it sounds. Quite nice.

Strange one. But the label does not lie Loads of apple in the aroma and loads of licorice in the flavor A whole bottle was actually a bit to much. So I am glad my mate wanted some also Balanced sweetness and a fine carbonation level Very easy to drink. [Bottle from Systembolaget in Sweden]

Bottle 33 cl. Pours black with a vague, reddish tint and a small, off-white head. Nose is mainly slightly tart apples. Light body, tart apples and late some licorice powder comes creeping in. It's certainly not disgusting, but it sure is weird. 060319

Mørk rødbrun med lavt beige skum. Lukter tydelig epler, gjær, anis og korn. Middels fylde. Smaker sursyrlige epler, søt engelsk lakris, karamell og karamellfudge. Middels lang.

Flaska från SB. Aningen mörkare än coca cola, lågt skum. Massor av salmiak, sur som syrligt godis med en lätt smak av grönt äpple. Men allt överskuggas av salmiak. Kul? Konstigt! Väl mycket godissmak. Mer knäppt än gott.

Svart med liten krona. Kul mix av lakritsrot, rålakrits, syrliga toner och grönt äpple. Väldigt mycket sura, hårda lakrits/äppel-karameller. Lite godisaktigt men tycker det blir tjusigt i denna. Lakritsmaken är riktigt snygg dessutom, känns äkta. Lever upp till sin folköls-föregångare. Gott.
