The colour comes from dark roasted barley, balanced with just the right amount of sweet, rolled oatmeal.
We mill both right here in the brewery, giving us complete control over flavour and freshness. The true taste of malt shines through, balanced by the sweetness of pure Scottish heather honey.
Hops: Challenger, Progress
Malts: Pale Ale, Roast, Crystal, Chocolate

Aus der Flasche (Black) 2015-05 getrunken.Das Black was es zeitgleich zum Black Cullin gab hatte neben den Porteraromen noch eine Ähnlichkeit mit einem Bitter, da es ein feines Fruchtaroma hatte.7/4/6/3/10 Aus der Flasche (Black Cuillin) 2015-05 getrunken. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein süffiges Porter, aber ohne großes Erinnerungspontential. 6/4/5/2/9

Bottle, small creamy nubbly head, clear deep brown color with lots of red hues, aroma of very dark bread and dark honey, flavor much the same with maybe a hint of coffee and a bit unpleasant bitterness. Not sure what this brew wants to be.

Darkest brown with almost no head. Aroma is slightly oxidized, dark chocolate, some butter, some honey. Taste is incredibly dry, some tannins, roasted malt on the tongue. Still enjoyable.
