Associated Venue: Sullivan's Taproom
Established in 2016
The Smithwick Family in partnership with direct descendants of the Sullivan Family had a vision to re-open the once-great brewery in the city where it all began. They enlisted the help of Ian Hamilton, one of Ireland’s most eminent contemporary master-brewers. Together they are bringing artisan brewing back to Kilkenny. If people thought that brewing in Kilkenny was dead and buried, they are in for a rude awakening…

Ikke helt edruelige notater fra en hyggelig kveld på Våland, med Johan og Egil. etter en snublende start (Nøison Steam Beer) er vi i gang med en ny 0,44 boks, også denne fra VP Herbarium: brunsvart med fløyelsmykt cremeskum som følger oss hele veien. Deilig aroma av mørkrøstede malter, nybrent kaffe, mørke chokolader og et hint av røykmalt. Litt lactose? Mild bitterhet, halvtørr og creamy. Eminent balansert, slank og lettdrikkelig, så her er der bare smilefjes rundt bordet.
Black with creamy tan head. Aroma of coffee, cream, smoked malt. Taste of coffee, licorice, chocolate and citrus.
Can shared with Johan and Holmen1 at Vaaland 21.04.24. Black. Very dense and persistent beige head. Fine aroma and taste of roasted barley, moderate bitterness, dark chocolate and a hint of smoked malt.
