Barghest is a mythical monstrous black dog from Northern English folklore or a Black Lager. You’ll be happy to know we’re getting the latter! What makes this beer truly special is its duality — a beer that looks dark and brooding, yet drinks light and easy. It’s proof that flavour, finesse, and drinkability can all live in perfect harmony.

Keg at BD Inverurie. It pours jet black with a sturdy beige head. The aroma is quite soft, bitter - sweet, dark roasted malt, chocolate cake, brownie, toasted pine, cookie dough and slightly charred grains. The taste is firm upfront, dry, bitter - sweet, dark roasted malt, toasty, charred accents, toasted pine, peppery spice, pithy, zesty citrus accents, cacao nibs and choc chip cookies with a dry toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice balance to this. Alcohol is here, but well integrated.
