Description
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.

Tastes a bit like ghost ship but that's not a bad thing. More soft maltiness than many ipa's but that's how an IPA from blacksheep should be.
A - malty bready light tropical citrus piney resin
F - caramel, bread, similar to aroma hops dont spring out but are nicely balanced with the malt

440ml can from Asda. Golden in colour, with a small, white, head. Light aroma of citrus hops and slightly tart grapefruit. Flavour had some pine, more sharp citrus, light malts and finished with a dry edge. Good.

500ml bottle bought at Eide Handel. Steady, creamy, fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Almost black in body appearance. Slightly roasted, creamy malts on the nose, scent of chocolate. Moderately flavoured with chocolate malts together with a bite of liquorice, lactose backbone. Mid-sweet dark malty end, rather short. Smooth mouthfeel. Satisfying. (Tromsø, 01.07.2023).

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Waitrose. Pours clear brown with a tight, creamy tan head. Lightly sweet with mellow roast, nips of dry cocoa, earth, burnt pine, earth and leaves. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean finish, restrained flavours, nips or orange peel, roast, earth. Enjoyable.
