Description
Established in 2014, owner Seamus McMahon has set up a lovely brewery in one of the old sheds, located behind the milking parlour. This brewery is set up on a working Dairy Farm. The team have renovated the shed to exacting specifications. The brewery is set amongst the rolling drumlins of County Monaghan. Our aim is to create distinct beers that are brewed with care and affection. We have created a range of well balanced and flavoursome ales that reflect the changing face of the beer market in Ireland.

(Can, 0.44l, thanks VastActiv, at VastActiv, 20240802) The beer poured copper coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, caramel and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, caramel, earth, biscuits and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Nice.

28/VII/24 - 50cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Ardennes Holiday, BB: VIII/2028, batch: B587 (2024-628)

Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy slightly irregular beige head, stable, a bit adhesive, leaving some patches of lacing in the glass. Aroma: some chlorine, deep roast, coffee, cocoa powder, nice stuff. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good roast, coffee, pretty bitter, lots of alcohol, a bit chemical, some chlorine, solvents, very alcoholic. Aftertaste: a bit yeasty, coffee, some dark chocolate, lots of alcohol, good bitterness in the end. Decent beer, but it can’t really compete with the Oak And Mirrors which we had right before, alas...
