Description
We are Fyne Ales, a family-owned Scottish farm brewery. When our brewery was founded in 2001, the goal was not only to make the best quality beer, but to bring jobs, industry and tourism to our community and our quiet corner of rural Scotland. We’ve continued brewing in this spirit ever since. Drawing water from the hills and brewing in converted farm buildings, we create modern, ambitious and progressive beers in a wide variety of styles.

Cask at Queen Vic, Aberdeen. It pours clear dark ruby - blacm with a thick, fluffy tan head. The aroma is earthy roast, toasty, burnt toast, dark roast, umami, salty liquorice, touch of dried/dark fruits and a touch of chocolate. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, charred vibes, dark roast, some umami, liquorice, burnt toast, cacao and some toasty spice with a drying, bitter roasted finish. Light+ body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Plenty for flavour for the abv. Commands attention. Nice one.

375ml bottle from brewery shop in Cairndow - black body with a massive lasting tan head. Real vineous berry notes, sharp bitterness, but balanced with some roasted chocolate notes. Very interesting beer this one.

375ml bottle from brewery shop in Cairndow - clear gold no head. Bit of yeasty apple in the nose, gentle tartness hides the ABV, some tanine aftertaste. Slightly disappointed, but still very nice.
