This dark, rich and robust Ale takes after the hearty character of it's namesake, the blackface sheep, which graze freely on the island. A hint of chocolate offers a sweet undertone to this warming beer.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Black with a thin off white head that quickly fizzed away. Roast malt aroma, flavour is similar with some hop spice. Bit thin

Cask at Seumas Bar, Skye. It pours hazy dark brown with a medium beige head. The nose is earthy, toasty, coffee, cocoa, dirt and some creaminess. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dried berry and light bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth, well-rounded and easy going. A nice cask stout by all accounts.

Dark brown. Nutty, caramelly aroma with a touch of molasses. Taste is lighter, towards nut and caramel, and the body is light and velvety.

On cask @ the Seumus Bar in the Sligachan Hotel. The pour is what you’d expect for a stout/mild - opaque black with a slight amount of fawn in the cream head. The nose is very dark chocolate, then very biscuity. The biscuits actually dominate the dark chocolate notes on the taste. The palate is medium bodied with a nice creamy texture and a fairly elegant clean finish. Overall, a well made mild.
