About
Founded in 2016 by James Ward, Lough Gill Brewing Company aims to restore the lost tradition of brewing to Sligo town, a small town that once hosted 5 breweries. The idea stemmed from an ever-growing passion for brewing delicious beer and a unique opportunity of various skill sets and business synergy.

Can purchased from Gourmet Haus near St Patrick’s Day. Pours black with a large, deep brown head that fades quickly to no head. Aroma is peat, dark fruit, roast, vanilla and whiskey. Coffee in the aroma as it warmed. Flavor is boozy whiskey, cocoa and roast. Sweetness retains long on the lips. Slightly astringent in the finish.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Semi opaque dark brown beer, decent bubbly tan head, but it's a transient thing. Light smooth malts, a light dark malt creamy sweetness. Light chocolate cake, a little chocolate candy. Mellow fruity bourbon. Dark chocolate Malteasers. A little dark chocolate bitterness. Fruity bourbon linger. Nice job. Light but rich.

Chocolade, cacao, turf, gerookt, whisky, zoet, alcoholisch, sterk, maar er zit ook geen balans in, soms is de hoeveelheid alcohol gewoon teveel en dit doet het bier geen goed, te dun ook om die enorme hoeveelheid aan alcohol te dragen
