A dry Irish stout available in both cask and keg. The complex blend of dark malts brings through delicate flavours of roasted coffee and cacao nibs while Willamette hops impart a balanced bitterness making Blackbird a rounded and fulfilling session stout.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours dark mahogany with a small cream head. Oats to the fore in the aroma, along with cream and roast malts. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture. Roasted malts are the mainstay of the flavour, along with some liquorice and hints of chocolate and coffee. Finish is smooth and dry. Reasonable but not wildly exciting.

Gravity cask at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 13th May 2022. Sepia brown with almost no foam or lace. Roasty malt aroma. Somewhat light roast malts in-mouth and a lasting finish of smooth, light roastiness. Smooth mouthfeel and a light body.
