Happy Monday! Today, we’re checking out the Black Bucket Black IPA by the very excellent Kinnegar brewery.

It comes in a 440ml can and clocks in at 6.5% ABV. As with all the Kinnegar cans, the artwork is pretty cool too!

I sat in the park with a pal trying this brew so didn’t have a glass to fully appreciate the colours of it but the aromas here are quite earthy, woody and there’s a hint of liquorice in there too.

The taste is more of the same with caramel and a bit of spice present. There’s a slight bitterness to it which is really thirst quenching and makes the brew so moreish!

The beer is medium bodied with a light enough carbonation to make it an easy, pleasant drinker. Well impressed.

I’d give this 3.8 doggos out of 5

G’luck,
