A great tasting Porter which is dark, smooth and complex on the palate with great oak-smoked flavour and coffee notes. The source of inspiration for this beer was the Galtees mountain range which crosses through Cork, Tipperary and Limerick. 'The Black Road' is the hillwalker route to get there!

Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, mid sized beige head. Chocolatey nose. Dry with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Velvetty chocolate, some toast and coffee. Mid bitter finish. The smoke is hardly perceptible, but this beer is subtly complex and superbly drinkable. A winner!
