An unusual Irish stout made with seaweed (called dulse in Ireland) gathered from the coast near Belfast and smoked over an oak wood fire.
There is an ever-so-slight saltiness on the mouth and a smoky background to the nose: sea and burning oak.

Dunkler, trocken röstmalziger Antrunk mit milder Süße. Etwas modrig, dennoch süffig bleibend. Nett. 11/11/9/11//11

Bottle thanks to Alberto. Pours a brown color with a medium white head. A big sweet chocolate ashy nose. The flavor is light smoke, fruity, salty, very smoky. Good.

This was the standout for me among the Hill Top beers at Birre in Festa. Made with smoked Irish seaweed this stout is a cola black with a tan head. The seaweed gives it that umami savouriness with a touch of smoke & roasted dark malts. The taste is great a lovely smokey roasted chocolate.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Opaque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Smooth and tangy dark malts, some lactose like sweetness. Nice generic fruits. Mild dark chocolate. Light dry finish. Not bad.
