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.

From Systembolaget Kalix (thanks Rönne!). Reddish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is toasted caramel, some spiciness, dried fruits and raisins. Flavour is toasted, some mild dried fruits, spices and yeast with a mild caramel edge to it. Pleasant.

440ml can from Black Isle Brewery Shop in Munlochy - Clear yellow, decent head. Fairly dampened aroma, by the book lager notes, a bit of citrus, but served ice cold it does a job and gets a bit of a higher rating because I'm melting.
