Description
Black Acre Brewing Co. is a small batch brewery located in Irvington, Indiana. The idea for Black Acre initially was conceived in 2010 due to our love of brewing, great beer, and the beer community at large. We created Black Acre with the goal of contributing delicious and unique beers to the community in which we live.

We hand craft our ales using a custom fabricated 3 barrel electric brewing system. Distribution is limited through our in house tap room sales, where both pints and growlers are available.

Visit the Black Acre Garden, Irvington's newest outdoor drinking space located at 5529 Bonna Avenue. The family and dog friendly Garden features a variety of Black Acre beers on tap with plenty of seating on the new deck, and guests invited to carry or order in food.

Pours deep amber with a small tan head. It smells sour with caramel malt and oak. It's important to note that this barrel aged brew is one of those that's picked up sourness in the process. The flavor has a sour character with dark fruit and caramel malt. Oak and bourbon are in there though not as strong as I expected for 14 months in the barrel. It's good though personally I prefer a barrel aged wee heavy to not be sour.

Aroma has cocoa and tobacco. Also licorice. Flavour has salmiac, licorice, some ash and tobacco. Too salty for my taste.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Medium golden pour, clear, small tight foamy head. Aroma and test taste reflect the maltygrain bill of the beer, bitter bite from the Hops coming in at the tail end. Crisp and clean. Lingering bitterness.

Can @ home shared with Joes. A bit unclear dark orange color, average sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste wheat, sweetish, ginger, herbal / spices a bit. Oh well. Drinkable.
