Blackfriar is the first in a series of beers honoring the role of the familiar orders of Dominican monks in the history of Perth. It is, naturally, a dark brew, hardy and warming, with a slightly sweet malty character balanced by a nice hoppiness. Blackfriar is loosely described as a 'wee heavy,' but its assertive hoppiness will quickly dispel that notion.
Beer & Food Pairing: Steak & kidney pie, game stew hard cheese, desserts, especially chocolate desserts.
