Black Swan is a traditional Irish-style dry stout brewed to be smooth, balanced, and very drinkable. Opaque black in colour with a tight beige head, it opens with roasty and biscuity malt aromas. On the palate it is silky and creamy thanks to nitrogenation, with flavours of mocha, roast, and dark chocolate coming through in a balanced, restrained way rather than anything heavy or sweet. The finish is dry and refreshing, with dark chocolate notes and a gentle bitterness that keeps it clean and moreish, even on a warm sunny day.
The bird on the label is the Black Swan, known for its striking look and calm presence. Its dark plumage and smooth character felt like a natural match for this stout.
