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

One day, brewer Magnus came to work with a bag of candy. A licorice/sour apple candy to be precise. Handing pieces out to whomever wanted it. David wanted it, so he took a piece. Then he took another one. Then, another one. He was completely hooked. A seed had planted itself in his head. And, the idea just grew and grew. It grew so big, it grew into this beer. David had to make it. We had to make it. A black, sour beer that tastes of licorice and apples might be taking it to far. But, sometimes you need to go to far in order to see how far you can go. And honestly, we’ve not gotten far enough yet.

Bottled 330ml (Beergium)
Opaque colour, small off-white head. Tart aroma has licorice and toasted notes. Light-bodied. Front is heavy on licorice but then covered by mouthpuckering tartness. Also apple is lurking there. Light body. I am not so big fan of this "idea".

Bottle from Beergium, bought in October 2017. Dark brown with a small head. Aroma and taste of apples, licorice, some bread and light citrus. The body was light and the finish a bit tart. Soft and easy to drink.

Keg at Anspach & Hobday. Clear deep brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, dry and fairly crisp. Floral apple. Sour apple sweets. Touch of lemony sourness but some contrasting saccharin sweetness. Light dry finish. Simple stuff, but quite good fun.
