Description
Bullhouse was initially founded back in 2016 to bring to market styles of beer not commonly available in Northern Ireland. To that end, the first beers we brewed were an Imperial Stout and a Comber Potato Saison.

We work to the following four values which determine the beers we brew, our responsibility to our local community and to the local environment.
- Transparency
- Curiosity
- Community
- Creativity

With environmental sustainability at our core, we pride ourselves on using local suppliers where possible for our raw materials. All our base malts are grown on the island of Ireland. Unfortunately we don't have the climate to grow hops in Belfast, but we contract the freshest hops from around the world to ensure our hoppy beers are as flavourful as possible.

We naturally carbonate our beers using the CO2 produced during fermentation and have eliminated tank to tank transfers, further reducing our environmental impact.

Can from Beer52. It pours darkest brown to black with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, brownie, rocky road, umami, liquorice, cacao nibs, touch of nougat and coffee. The taste is dry, bitter, dark roasted malt, charred accents, umami, liquorice, burnt toast, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, coffee, espresso, nip of alcohol, hint of bonfire and pleasingly bitter and toasty finish. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy. Rich, robust and flavourful. Reminds me a kernel stout.

Can. Asda. 4 for 3 job. About 6 weeks since packaging. Hazed pale yellow gold. Might be a tad mucky. Slim sticky lasting white foam. Nose has oats. Quite yeasty. Hops come across lightly peachy. Little bit of a twang. Taste is dry with minimal bitterness. Drinks ok enough. Certainly not a bad beer, but there’s not much going off overall.
