Description
Trouble Brewing was founded in 2010 by three friends: Paul, Tom and Stephen. They gathered up all the money they could (about €45k between them) and borrowed the same from the bank with the help of a well prepared business plan. Then they set about putting together a functioning brewery.

Our sales grew steadily, the brewery got bigger and around 2014 it became clear that if we were going to take the brewery to the next level, we needed a bigger space and the assistance of an experienced brewer (In the meantime Tom left the project). Not long after we found a new premise in Kill, approx ten times the size of our original space. Mark Nixon joined us after a couple of years working and training in Redchurch Brewery in London.

In 2019, after ten years of hard work together setting up and building the brewery, Paul and Stephen decided it was time for a change. Paul moved on and a new era began in Trouble Brewing.

Almost black. Aroma is dark chocolate cocoa some pudding, light caramel. Taste is medium umami with quite sweet chocolatey body and light bitter counterpoint. Overall pretty balanced and not very heavy. Quite drinkable but with light aggressive carbonation.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso caffè e liquirizia. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, cioccolato al latte, caffè, liquirizia e agrumi.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è opalescente. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, arancia amara, mandarino, mango e frutta tropicale.

Dark ruby red when held up to light. Quickly disappearing head. Coffee and vanilla on the nose. Not a huge bouquet. Mildish: some coffee, dark malts, slight sweetness, slightly nutty. Bit watery. Ok.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of grape, flowers, jellied sweets and nettles. There is not much to the flavour other than grass/nettles. Quite watery and weak. Short finish, but still drinkable.
