The Bandon Car is a folk song penned by Irish balladeer Kevin Beale which cautions pub goers in West Cork to beware of the seemingly omniscient Garda car patrolling the area in search of drink drivers. This well-balanced porter is rich and satisfying, with a roasted edge and a sweet lingering aftertaste. Our tribute to County Cork.

Hand-pulled half-pint at the Pheasant Inn and Brewhouse on 25th August 2024. Pleasant enough Porter, tanned head on a black coloured body. Chocolate and coffee flavours vie against each other in this semi-sweet malty brew.

Near black in colour, with a frothy beige head and an aroma of sweet chocolate and lightly roasted malt. Light to medium bodied, with a mildly raosted malt flavour, hints of chocolate and coffee and a touch of creaminess in the mouthfeel, with a slightly bitter finish
