Description
Sam and Maudeline Black are a husband and wife team who started their brewing company Blacks Brewery in 2013. This venture/obsession first began many years ago when Maudeline gave Sam a beer making kit for Valentines Day. What started as a hobby quickly developed into an obsession and thus through Sam’s passion and enthusiasm Blacks Brewery became reality. Living the dream since 2013! In 2015 the Distillery was added. We are Ireland's first co-located micro brewery and Distillery.

440ml can at home. Deep amber pour with a thin cream colored head. Nose is fruity hops, caramel, this is very nearly a US style barley wine more than a DIPA. Nice malt forward flavour, well balanced DIPA. Soft carbonation.

(Keg at Muikea Muikku, 20200801) The beer poured reddish brown and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramel, earth and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, pine, earth, caramel, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A decent malty brew with strong notes of caramel.

Bottle from Beer52. Clear golden-orange beer with an off-white head. Mango aroma and initial taste with orange juice and florals emerging. Decently full mouthfeel - pretty smooth. Sweetish with just a touch of bitterness. Flavours may not be that punchy, but it's nicely balanced compared to many IPAs and very drinkable. Decent if not outstanding.
