Description
Kirkstall Brewery was inspired by the rich brewing history of Kirkstall village, which later formed part of the city of Leeds. The brewing company boasts a rich history spanning from the 12th century, where the Cistercian monks founded Kirkstall Abbey and began the area’s brewing legacy. The original Kirkstall Brewery was founded in 1871 and was in operation till 1983 when it was closed by its last owners, Whitbread. The buildings have been well preserved and are now home to students of Leeds Metropolitan University. The new Kirkstall Brewery is located on the Leeds Liverpool canal, in the shadow of the original brewery, reviving the tradition of brewing in Kirkstall and the inspiration to once again make the name famous for great beer.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. One of their Back In Black Beer Festival beers. Dark reddish-brown with a light-brown head. Quite thin tasting given its strength, although its aftertaste has a tad more oomph! It's milder than mild in design, but still strong enough in abv to have an impact. Its most dark-malty character is found in its aroma.

Can from Asda Supermarket, Manchester. Very dark with a light-brown frothy-bubbly head. The tiramisu elements here are strong in both aroma and taste but not overbearing. As such it's a flavoursome full-bodied stout.

Keg @ Victoria Tap, Manchester. Hazy light yellow-gold with a small head. Mango is dominant in both aroma and taste, sometimes transferring into passionfruit, but essentially an extremely stated tropical fruit keg brew. Not quite overbearing though as not too strong.
