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.

Good, but a bit too dry and harsh…

Bottle: Literally black, small, but stable loose tanned head, moderate to solid nose of toasted mal and dried berries, herbal hops well detectable underneath; robust sweet-bitter flavour, nearly full bodied, really soft; lingering sweet-bitter finish with toasted malt and fruits, increasing bitterness towards the aftertaste.

Thuis uit een flesje. Zwart, bruin schuim, mooi. Pittige smaak door de goede bitterheid, geroosterde (verbrande) koffiebonen. Prima.
