Description
Wicklow Wolf was established in late 2014 after the meeting of two likeminded friends with a common interest in good beer. Quincey Fennelly and Simon Lynch both fell in love with craft beer while living in California for many years. Setting up a brewery together was always inevitable.

Draught at Skaal Sønderborg. Good roasted aroma with a distinct salty liquorice note. Black colour. Ok stable off-white head. The flavour has a distinct sweet liquorice note along with a very roasted coffee note. Very acidic. Not that it is bad as such, but I cannot help but wonder if it is intended.

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours hazy dark brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel, yeast, and oats. Sour (too roasty?) flavour with touches of malt, hops, and yeast. Sour and roasty aftertaste with hints of dark chocolate and yeast. Off? OK? No idea, but I wouldn’t fancy a whole measure of it.

440ml can. Jet black colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark beige head. Roasty, minimally grainy and sour-ish, oaty and dark malty aroma, hints of sour-ish coffee, oates. Taste is slightly dry, roasty, minimally grainy, oaty and dark malty, hints of sour-ish coffee, oat milk, subtle grainy sweetness. Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, very fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Well crafted, the sour-ish grainy partitions aren't my cup of tea - decent.
