Can 33 cl. 7,0% ABV in my version. Pours a clear, dark brown with an orange hue and a lacing, beige head. Toffee and burnt caramelized sugar in the nose. Rich malty body, again plenty of caramelized sugar and perhaps a faint hint of smoke. Subdued bitterness, but you sense the British hops there somewhere. 060524

Burk från SB. Mahognyfärgad vätska med högt skum. Bra kropp, fina maltiga smaker från choklad över torkad frukt till fruktkaka, fudge och mörkt bröd. I bakgrunden kryddor, bittra örter med en liten touch av pepparrot. Gott

On tap (keg) at the Black Isle bar, Inverness, Monday 26th September 2022, in the company of Nick and Anna. Pours murky brown with a light beige head, there is a little bitterness, dark fruit with a little tang. Always a little confused with this style and in my head struggle to know where to place it and what to expect, however a it's a good beer, in fact all of the Black Isle beers today have been very decent.

Cette Organic Scotch Ale est un bel exemple du style, bien construite, bien équilibrée et sur une complexité très honorable. Ses limites proviennent avant tout du genre qui permet que difficilement de faire des bières extraordinaires. Mon exemplaire titre à 6,8%. Le visuel est sur une robe brune limpide surmonté d'une mousse beige s'estompant rapidement. Le nez est sur un mix tourbe, pomme, prune, caramel avec un léger chocolat plaisant. L'attaque est d'une bonne intensité avec une pointe de cerise et d'épices, un équilibre malt/houblon bien maîtrisé et un alcool efficace. La deuxième bouche fait preuve à la fois d'une bonne vivacité, toujours bien amené par un alcool performant, mais également d'une complexité honorable. L'arrière, davantage sur l'alcool et les arômes tourbés manque peut-être de finesse toutefois. Le final, long aurait mérité quant à lui une pointe de puissance complémentaire. Belle prestation.
