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.

16 September 2020. At Draft & Dreams, Bologna. Shared with the lovely Anke! Hazy black, very thin, frothy, beige head. Aroma of brambleberry, sour coffee nibs, prune, dark chocolate powder, wet tobacco. Taste has sweet yet restrained maltiness, prune, toat & peanut mingling with sour berries, a bit herbal hoppy into the finish with low toast & roasted coffee. Medium to light body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Promising nose but falls a bit flat.

330ml bottle. Pours gold, small white head, decent retention Chewy tropical fruit sweet aroma, pine, flora; all good Taste is a little lighter than I expected. A little bland at first but then a stewed tropical fruit note builds nicely, then gives way to a citrus soapy note (not bad but not great), and then finally a nice strong bitterness comes in with some orange. Body is slightly light for a 6.5% IPA and then accordingly the carbonation a bit too low for the body. A mixed bag but overall I enjoyed it
