North Point is a 4.3% Porter which is dark chocolate in colour, with hints of toffee, caramel and coffee. Medium bodied beer with bitter chocolate flavours and a smooth dry bitter hoppy finish. Noup Head on Westray is our North Point, the end of a spectacular coast of cliffs, caves and seabird colonies. Even on a bright day with a cool breeze, so you may need something more substantial than pale ale.

Cask pint at The Justice Mill In Aberdeen, keenly priced at £2.71 a pint. It pours darkest brown to black with a handsome tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, toasty, coffee grounds, salted caramel, cacao nibs and some toasted fruit cake. The taste is dry, pleasing and lingering bitterness, toasty, slightly charred, bitter - sweet dark chocolate, salted caramel, freshly made coffee, varnished oak, light tannin, dried fruits, toasted fruit cake and dull soapy citrus with bitter, roasty finish. Flavourful and satisfying. Orkney on cask rarely disappoints.
