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.

330ml bottle. Pours golden amber with a light mist, small white head. Pleasant fruity hop aroma, light apricot. Light on the palate with a nice gentle hop profile, some welcome fruity apricot and mango emerging, medium-to-low bitterness. Nice balance. Decent.

Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, quite fruity and slightly resiny taste of mango, passion fruit and pineapple, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly resiny and a bit grassy finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Bottle @ You’ll Never Walk Alone, Kolding. Pours hazy bery dark brown with stable light tan head. Clear aroma of caramel, yeast and malt. Bitterish, roasty onset, giving way to sweetish notes of fruit and yeast and some malty touches. Roasty and estery aftertaste. Okay but the body is a little thin.

Beer52. Citrus aroma. Grassy. Medium gold. Slightly hazy. Thick foamy white head. Bitter citrus tempered by sweet juice. More bitter into the finish. Medium bodied. Low key slickness. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Enjoyed this one. Mot the most OTT of IPAs but a decent beer.

Keg at the Grove. Pours reddish black with a thick off white head. Aroma is boozy rum, some dark fruits, chocolate and coffee. Taste is quite a big boozy rum hit, quite sharp which softens a little in dark dried fruit, bitter chocolate and coffee with a boozy rum finish. Doesn't really integrate the booze very well into the beer for me.
