A fierce and powerful creature was the Black Boar. This huge beast played a massive role in shaping ancient Irish history. Famously the Black Boar killed, and was killed by Diarmuid the warrior while he answered the challenge of his archrival Fionn Mac Cumhail in the mountain of Ben Bulben in County Sligo. The Black Boar has come to represent resilience. Fitting then that this black, silky Imperial Stout should carry the name of one of ancient Ireland’s most notorious icons.

Black beer, brown head. Smells of malt and liquorice. Quite a solid liquorice hit in the flavour too, along with a stack of malt, some chocolate and coffee and the rich smoothness you'd expect from an oatmeal stout. The liquorice might be a bit too forward for me but it's got a decent malty finish to balance so it just stays on the right side of the line. very decent.
