Being perfectly placed in the highlands, home to some of the world's best distilleries, it's been a natural step towards barrel aged beer. Having evolved this line since 2012, this year saw the release of our East and West Coast Series, using Oatmeal Stout aged in Scottish Whisky casks to create a deep rich flavour and deliciously decadent mouthfeel. Having waited nine months for this second batch, it's out now on limited release.

330ml bottle from the brewery shop. Black with a thin tan head. Aroma is red wine, wood, roasted malt. Flavour is roasted malt, vanilla, red wine, a little spice. Thinner than I'd have expected, but that's not a bad thing. Lovely stuff

Really top notch beer. The barrel aging is mild, but wonderfully balanced with the oatmeal. Strong, complex yet not overly full bodied, the body and mouthfeel are in perfect harmony with the bee r. Sterk ams

Nagy, tartós, barna hab, fekete szín. Csokis, kávés, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös illatok, némi hordós, vaníliás beütéssel. Édeskés, csokis, kávés, kissé kakaóporos ízek, nem túl erőteljes whiskey-s, hordós, vaníliás aromákkal. Lágy, testes, enhén szénsavas, erősen keserű. Nagyon finom, kiválóan kiegyensúlyozott sör.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, alcohol, wood, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of prunes, alcohol, wood, and roasted malt, leading to a dry roasted finish.
