Nerabus Ale is our winter warmer; a deep ruby colour brewed with pale, caramalt, dark crystal, chocolate and wheat malt. The hops used are Amarillo from America and Bramling Cross from England. It has a black treacle, spicy flavour balanced by the use of spicy and citrusy hops.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear deep amber with a huge and frothy off-white head. British malts in the nose and some roast. Light body, a little watery, roast and nuts with a discreet underlying tartness. Ends dry with no hoppiness. 110910

Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. Thereβs a really decent brew struggling to make its presence felt here, but it somehow falls short. It started out promisingly with some nice hoppage mingling with caramel malt to give quite a pleasant and inviting aroma. The flavour was more caramel malts and a vague slightly plasticy fruitiness; the hops arenβt given a chance to shine through, seeming smothered. Its not terrible by any stretch, and extra maeks for coming from Islay. Iβm sure this would taste much better if it was drained in the 19th hole of the Machrie with a tasty malt by its side. When that scenario unfolds (asI hope it will one day) I will endeavour to re rate !

Bottle conditioned, 50cl, from Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Reddish bronze with a loose cream head; peaty, smoky, caramel aroma; creamy chocolate and caramel flavours with a slight sourness.; and a cinder toffee bitterness to the finish. Another excellent ale from Islay.

Bottle: Hazy, reddish-amber coloured, firm creamy tanned head; vinous, fruity (dried dark berries) nose with a certain acidity; soft MF, dryish bitter-sourish flavour, light to medium-bodied; fruity vinous finish with traces of cacao and a detectable acidity in the aftertaste. Sourish, but nevertheless quite well drinkable........
