Description
The idea of having our own brewery has been in our heads since we launched our first beer, The Black Pot, but we really started thinking about it in the beginning of 2018.

Living in a small town near the Ceahlau mountain means fresh air, great views, many things to do (especially in summer) but there is not much social life. So, this was our first question: build a brewery in the area through which we make the decision to stay here or move to a big city where you have many more opportunities, give up on this idea / dream and continue life? You already know the answer… 😊

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is firm bourbon with wood, roasted malt, dark chocolate, leather, light liquorice, some smokey and ashy notes. Flavour is medium sweet and mild bitter with a touch of booze in the finish. Medium to full body, could have used a little carbonation. Fairly smooth with plenty of Wild Turkey goodness.
