Our ongoing experimentation with utilising oak and ageing our beers continues. After the phenomenally successful Quinquennium and Quinquennium Reserve set the standard for our big, robust imperial stouts last year as incredible first entries into our barrel ageing program, we took stock and really were astounded at where we’ve come in such a short amount of time. From those incredibly humble beginnings as a two-man setup churning through back-breaking fourteen hour brew days, we find ourselves where we are today – working with some of the brightest talents in the brewing industry today, giving them a platform to flourish and excel at their profession. Black Brook has been brewed in honour of those humble beginnings and with pride in our Welsh roots. Welsh Whisky casks, themselves formerly Madeira Sherry and Bourbon casks, impart decadent and rich flavours

Saturday 27th April 2024, keg half-pint during an outing to Aberystwyth. As the name implies, it's black bodied, on top a tanned affair. Boozy, woody, rich, boozy, Dundee Cake, some dark chocolate and boozy!

Black beer, fizzy brown head. Aroma is all barrel, whisky and wood. Flavour is sweet and boozy up front with the warming whisky flavour, but there's plenty else going on here too. Dried fruit, caramel, malt, sherry, chocolate, anise. Rich, smooth, boozy, warming. Massive and hearty stout.

12/4/2024. Draught at HOPS Isle Of Man, Douglas. Pours black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma is bourbon, liquorice, dark chocolate, caramel, wood, red wine, brown sugar, boozy raisins, dark fruits. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, average carbonation. Warming boozy tingling finish. Strongest ever Polly’s beer on RateBeer. Very good.
