Description
Black Isle was started by David Gladwin in 1998. An unemployed beer lover, he set out to make world-class beer using barley and hops, grown on organic farms, without the use of destructive chemicals. Black Isle Brewing Co is Scotland’s only organic brewery; pioneering craft beer from our beautiful, wild - and sometimes wet - Highland home. Organic is at the heart of everything we do - we believe in making great tasting beer using only natural ingredients, grown without the use of harmful chemicals. We care about seriously good beer, the environment and the future of our planet.

500ml, bottle conditioned, bought at Cornelius in Edinburgh (bb. March 09). Pours a slightly foggy, amber body with a red tint. Topped by a dense, beige head. Has got a rather pleasant aroma of herbal sweetness, with underlying malt and citrus. The flavour does not follow the inviting smell, it tastes like an unsuccessful blend of grain, malt and peaty fruits. Short and discreet bitter tail. Dry in the mouth, but diluted texture (shared with Eva at home, Tromsø 05.02.2009).

330ml bottle bought at Cornelius in Edinburgh and shared with Finn at a drinking session in Tromsø. Huge, soapy head over a slightly hazy, golden body. Rich dry smell of malt and honey sweetness. Honey with hints of citric fruits in a taste profile that was less prominent than the aroma. Dry and refreshing in the mouth. Medium bodied [22.11.2008].
