About
First brewed 10th April 2010. A 2½BBL plant is used.

Llangollen Brewery has been one of North Wales’ best-kept secrets - until now. Our small but perfectly formed brewery began ten years ago when our Master Brewer, brewed the first-ever batch of Llangollen ales and sold our beers exclusively in his pubs.

He honed his craft, working hard to perfect the brewing alchemy that makes our beers so satisfying and unique. We have always crafted our classic and distinctive beers with care and precision and that hard work has paid off.

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Hand-pulled half-pint in the Abbey Grange Hotel, next to the brewery on 2nd June 2018. Amber body, clean and clear, white topping. Light fruitiness in the aroma and initial taste, hop bitter throughout. Lacked body depth and oomph.

2nd June 2018, cask half-pint at the Abbey Grange Hotel, next to the brewery. Black pour (as the name might suggest) with a tight foam pillow on top. Looked lovely, sadly that was the best part, looking at it. Weak bodied and watery, it may well have had some malts within the brew and even a hop or two, but it didn't appear to have much of anything really. A big, big disappointment. Cracking hotel by the way.

Bottle from Quayside Buttery, Menai. Dark reddish-brown with a thin head. Has some floral-roasted malts in its nose, with a floral-bitterness in its taste, followed by a darker-malt aftertaste.

500ml bottle, beer gift from Richard. Bubbly beige head, deep dark brown body, crocheted lacing. Mid-sweet malty aroma, earthy. Caramel and a disturbing farmyard touch to the taste character. Slightly sour bittersweet end. Not in its best condition, I guess. (Shared with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 31.01.2018).

Bottle from Quayside Buttery, Anglesey. Golden with a carbonation and thin head. Has mild fruity flavours, but has lager style qualities about it too, especially in its malty aroma.

500ml bottle, Christmas gift from Richard and Bjørg, shared with Finn. Remaining white head to a hazy golden body. Spotty lacing. Doughy fruity nose. Mixed taste of apricot, dough and mild malty sweetness followed by a rather sharp fruit bitter end. Not diluted at all. Decent bitter. (Tromsø 08.01.2018).

Mom brought this one back from a trip to Wales. +++ Sampled from a 500ml brown bottle this beer poured an almost black color with an enormous foamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. He aroma was egg white, yeast and some vague bitterness. The flavor was bitter with black food coloring, wood, bread crust and an off note. Medium length finish. Medium body. Not good.
