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.

Taste: sweet start, lots of strawberry jam, nice acidity, a bit oxidised, sugary, gentle bitterness, good stuff! Aftertaste: more strawberry jam, a bit sweet and sugary, some blueberry cheesecake.

440 ml can, as Wicklow Wolf Pacific Heights California Common Endangered Species No. 55, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 4.9%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of grain and dust, a hint of caramel. Smooth mouthfeel and flavour. The flavour has some malt sweetness and grainy notes, again a hint of caramel, also a hint of stewed fruits, with a moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

44 cl. can @ home, bought @ Slijterij de Langstraat, Waalwijk.
Dark brown to black with a beige head. Chocolate and sweet coffee aroma. Sweet taste with a sweet cloying finish. Too sweet for my taste and certainly too sweet for an Irish stout.
