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.

On keg at Black Isle Bar, Inverness.
Appearance- golden with a light haze and an off white head.
Nose - custard and caramel.
Taste - more custard, lightly bready. Some honeycomb at the back.
Palate - light bodied but surprisingly not too thin.
Overall - actually reminds me of their regular Blonde. Not bad at all.

Bottle from the lcbo. Jet black pour, with a large beige head. Dark roasted malts, burnt coffee, soft whiskey, earthy wood, light spice and fruit. Oily mouth feel, nice. Carb. Finish is medium bitter, leaning towards high. Intense roast in the end, lots of whiskey barrel, light vanilla, and spice.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto da cioccolato, tabacco e sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è molto elevata ed elegante e la maniera in cui permane è pregevole. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color marrone castagno ed è destinata a vita breve. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, agrumi e frutta passita.
