The "Black Rock" is a landmark for mariners at the outermost part of Dungarvan harbour, situated just between the copper coast and Helvick head. This is a full flavoured, smooth, dry stout that has been described on more than one ocassion as "the way stout used to taste". Made from roasted barley which gives a rich, chocolate-y flavour with herbal hints and notes of vanilla and aniseed. This is a medium-bodied stout with a light carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Ideally this stout should be served in the traditional south eastern way which is 'off the shelf' - i.e. at room temperature. It is the perfect beer to serve with robust meat dishes, or could be used as a 'dessert beer'.

500 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original Dungarvan shaked pint glass an almost black with reddish tones coloured Stout with a generous one finger tan, dense and creamy foamy head that had no end and tons of micro bubbles. Low carbonation. Great lacing. The aroma is intense roasted malts, intense roasted coffee beans, notes of dark chocolate and a touch of smoke. The flavour is roasted malts, roasted coffee beans, spicy notes, licorice, vanilla, dark bitter chocolate and cocoa powder and smoked notes. The mouthfeel is creamy, thick and very smooth. The texture is watery. This light bodied Stout has a long roasted malts and bitter finish. A very well flavoured Irish Stout. I simply like it.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Rather close to pitch black colour, mediumsized brown head, that leaves a thick nice lace on the beer glass. Aroma is roasted malts, some slight smoke, oatmeal and mild saltyness. Flavour is roasted malts, some toasted notes, toffee, dark fruityness, coffee and some mild "seaweedlike" notes. A rather pleasantly balanced stout with some slight bitterness as well.
