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.

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is nutty, some roasted, mild floral and fruity tones. Flavour is quite roasted and chocolaty with some mild wood, fruits and floral tones. A bit too roasted for black ipa, more actually a porter than cda/bipa in my books.
