Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie
Black with ruby light-through, thich rich white head, good lacing.
Aroma - Chocolate powder, roasted malt, sweet dark malts
Taste - Chocolate, roasted malts, sweet dark malts, bit of burnt crust, quite complex, great flavour.
Palate - soft carb, smooth, silky, medium body. Finish a bit dry with sweet malts, cocoa, roasted malt, burnt crust, earthy.
Overall - This is a mixture of Wildcat and Black Gold. It’s better than both beers and it’s Cairngorm’s best. Very moreish, with a really good flavour and a nice finish (It helped that it was in top condtition)
