About
In 1992, Paul Theakston took a daring leap into the unknown. As a fifth generation brewer of his family company, he chose to leave T&R Theakstons following its sale to a national brewery. Instead, he chose to champion independent brewing in Yorkshire and built his own brewery in the very same town, Masham. The brewhouse contains a mixture of tradition and innovation, using the Yorkshire Square Fermentation system which we hold dearly. Our original brewhouse was built from reclaimed equipment which we still use to this day.

Bottle from Tesco
Appearance - Dark amber, thick off white head with good lacing.
Aroma - Caramel and roasted malts, fruity, not much hop.
Taste - Light roast malt, caramel malt, sweet malts, bit of spicy hop, hint of pepper, liquorice, bit of earthy yeast. Well balanced rich and fairly complex.
Palate - Bitter rather earthy finish with roasted malt. Low carb, quite smooth, bittersweet initially but finish is more bitter but not astringent.
Overall - Good quality, rich ale, well balanced and good tasting.

15/08 0.5 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for sharing! It poured slightly hazy body with small head. Sourish herbal hop aroma. Slightly spicy and bitter in flavor, fruity and grainy, but quite weak, with thinner body. Finish was grainy, shorter and crude. A bit boring, but definitely not typical.

Theakstons svarta får gör ingen besviken. En fyllig bitter med stor ganska mörk kropp, bra beska och lång eftersmak. En av de bästa engelska bittrarna.
