An imperial stout first brewed in 2015 by Fyne Ales who collaborated with Brouwerij De Molen in the Netherlands. The response was so successful that this beer has been made a permanent addition to Fyne's range. Mills & Hills is a rich, malty stout with lots of treacle and chocolate characters. This complex combination of malts and hops creates a full flavoured beer which is perfect for cold, wintry nights.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il caffè. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è molto elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona e duratura. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane tostato, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, vaniglia e frutta passita.

Great stuff! Had a lovely local stout last night in Inverness and now this one near Inveraray. Every beer I had today was from Fyne Ales 🤓

Bottled. Pitch black colour, minor head. Aroma is dry fruits, chocolate, some mild alcohol and spices. Flavour isdry fruits, alcohol, some mild spices, chocolate, mild roasted and liquorice notes with some toffee as well. Big and bold, but yet quite easy to drink.
