Description
Moulin Brewery is a tiny craft brewery, which began life back in 1995. The story goes, that the then owner of the Moulin Hotel, Chris Tomlinson, discussed with regulars to the Moulin Inn what he might do with the old stables at the back of the hotel. Out of these discussions came the idea of having a micro brewery and the birth of the successful brewery.
The present five barrel brewing plant is housed in what were originally a coach house and stable buildings attached to the hotel. Since its initial establishment the brewery has purchased additional fermentation tanks for added capacity but the average brew session remains at five barrels. The brewery's annual output is about 500 barrels per year.

On tap @ Moulin. Pours a colour with a red hue and a thin crema head. The nose has demerara sugar and an earthy note. The palate is medium to full bodied with a rich tangy texwture and a bitter finish. Overall, good example of a strong British ale.

On tap at Moulin. Pours cola with a red hue and a nicely proportioned head. The nose has chocolate and cream. The taste has chocolate biscuits. The palate is medium bodied with a light creamy finish and a dry bitter malt finish. Overall, a good ale - maybe a stout rather than a bitter.

Rerate at the Perth Arms, Dunkeld, a bit more zesty this time. Previous rating 2.7. On tap @ Moulin. Pour amber with a thin head. The nose has a faint note of honey and raisins. The taste has more honey and raisins with a big malt finish. The palate is medium to full bodied with a tangy texture and some bitterness on the end, though still a bit cloying. Overall, needs more fresh hoppiness, though this kind of ale does seem to suit the rich cuisine of the pub.

On tap @ Moulin. Pours amber with a thin head. The nose has honey and biscuits. The taste is of honey, rasins and cornflakes. The palate is medium in body with a medium creamy texture and a sweetish finish. Overall, not bad, but too cloying on the end.

Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie. Dark brown bitter with rich off white creamy head. Aroma - light roast malt. Taste - some dark malt, slight sweetness with gentle bitter hops initially, then flavour goes flat. Slight hint of butter. Dull, malty finish. Not impressed with this beer - rather boring.
