in Kilkenny,

Ireland 🇮🇪
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…
Brewed at Dundalk Bay. Some small batch beers brewed in the taproom.

Canned.
Poured near black in color.
Creamy smooth with lots of coffee and cacao, not that dry but drinks easily and even has a slight bitterness.

Can. Red black with a very dense 2cm beige head. Lightly roasted coffee aroma with grass and hints of citrus. Vague nitro mouthfeel. Dry with coffee, some citrus, before a fairly hoppy finish. OK if simple.
