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.

Vom Fass bei der TapTakeoverParty von Dugges im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-06 getrunken. Dieser schwarze Apfelsaft ohne jeglicher Schaumbildung und Kohlensäure wirkte im Glas schon irgendwie tot. Die Nase sagt ja Apfel, aber am Gaumen war es nur ein ganz kurz Säure mit Apfelgeschmack und der wirkte auch noch irgendwie aufgesetzt. Der Abgang super kurz, denn kaum hat das Bier den Gaumen verlassen war auch der Geschmack weg. Nee das war nichts.

If you like licorice and apple, this must be perfect for you. Otherwise it is no good idea to buy it. It had a surprisingly dominant apple and licorice flavor as announced. It did match better than feared. But not really my kind of flavor.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with white foam, minimal. Aroma is not strong, giving some sour apple and licorice, coherently with the beer recipe. Body is light, with quite some astringency. Taste is sour. Finish is short.

Flaska från ICA Möllan, Malmö. Tack Samuel 214. Smak av syrliga äppeltoner och lite mörkare, rostade toner i doften. Påminner mycket om hårda, syrliga äppelkarameller. Lite lakrits/lakritsrot i bakgrunden. I smaken blir det ännu mer av syrliga äppeltoner från grönt äpple som plötsligt går över i en växande lakritssmak. Wow, väldigt spännande! Funkar ruskigt bra, och har inte testat denna smakkombination i en öl tidigare. Både äpplet och lakritsen kommer fram och gör sig bra tillsammans. Riktigt kul öl!
