Product & Producer Overview

Brewed in Ireland by Kinnegar Brewing in County Donegal, Black Rabbit Nitro is a smooth, nitro-served black lager combining the rich colour and roasted malt character of a dark lager with a soft, creamy texture. This unique style delivers a balanced, easy-drinking beer with subtle chocolate and coffee notes, complemented by a clean, refreshing finish.

Packaged in a 30 L stainless steel keg, Black Rabbit Nitro is perfect for home bars, events, or gatherings — offering approximately 53 pints per keg. Its moderate 4.5% ABV ensures sessionable drinkability while maintaining flavour complexity.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Black Rabbit Nitro pours a deep, dark brown to black, topped with a creamy tan head that persists, forming a signature nitro-style cascade.

Aroma:
The nose presents roasted malt notes with hints of chocolate, coffee, and subtle caramel. Light herbal and earthy hop undertones add balance and freshness.

Flavour:
On tasting, expect smooth roasted malt character with chocolate and coffee nuances. The nitro carbonation softens the bitterness and enhances the creamy mouthfeel, while the finish remains clean and slightly dry. Hops are subtle, allowing the malt richness to shine without overpowering.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied and creamy with low carbonation due to the nitrogen infusion. The beer feels velvety on the palate, with a soft, smooth texture and lingering, balanced finish — easy to drink in multiple pints.

Food Pairings

Black Rabbit Nitro’s roasted malt and creamy nitro character make it a versatile companion for food:

• Grilled meats & barbecue: Chargrilled steaks, smoked ribs, or pulled pork — the beer’s smoothness complements smoky, fatty flavours.

• Hearty stews & braises: Beef or lamb stews — roasted malt notes harmonise with rich, slow-cooked dishes.

• Chocolate desserts: Chocolate mousse, brownies, or flourless chocolate cake — enhances the dessert’s richness.

• Savory cheeses: Aged cheddar, gouda, or blue cheese — the beer’s smooth finish balances bold flavours.

• Roasted nuts & snacks: Salted almonds, spiced nuts, or crisps — a perfect sessionable match for snacks.

Whether hosting a casual evening, celebrating a special occasion, or pouring for friends, Black Rabbit Nitro offers rich flavour and a creamy, velvety drinking experience.

Brewery Background & Heritage

Kinnegar Brewing was originally established in a farmhouse in Rathmullan, Co. Donegal, taking its name from the nearby Kinnegar Beach along the Wild Atlantic Way. The brewery relocated to a modern facility in Letterkenny while retaining its philosophy of unfiltered, naturally carbonated beers.

Black Rabbit Nitro showcases the brewery’s creativity — a dark, smooth, nitro-served beer crafted for balance, flavour, and sessionable enjoyment. Kinnegar continues to produce a wide range of beers, from hop-forward IPAs to darker, malt-forward styles, all reflecting Irish craft brewing excellence.
