Description
The Cromarty Brewing Co is a family run business consisting of Craig, Chap and Jenni Middleton. Craig, our fanatical founding brewer studied the science of brewing at Heriot Watt University and the art of beer making in the student accommodation and flat basements. After finishing the course he went on to do some work in various breweries to gain valuable experience. It was during this time that he decided he wanted to get his own beers to market.
In the spring of 2011 construction of the brewery started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011.

Bottle split at the last minute CBJ Tasting (big thanks Marcin for hosting), cheers to LKS for this one, 13/07/23. Black with a good sized tan cap that stays for the show. Nose is earthy fruits, dark malts, hint of coffee, trace of bourbon, candied fruit peel. Taste comprises dark malts, dried fruits, light yeast elements, oak, modest bourbon, brown sugar dusting, figs, toffee. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Not bad.

Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to LKS.. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Chocolate Malteasers, some dark chocolate. Soft dark malt cream. A little spice on the soft finish. Nice job. Fluffy and drinkable.

Can from Hopshop Aberdeen. It pours slightly hazy golden - amber with a small, dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, piney vibes, sappy, zingy, tangy, grapefruit and pomelo. The taste is dry, bitter, sappy, piney, floral, touch of peppery spice, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, waxy rind and only dull alcohol presence with a dry, woody finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but it's pretty nice anyhow.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks floating beneath a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon, flower petals and herbs. Flavour of grapefruit and pine with a lavender finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A decent IPA that showcases a restrained, well rounded hop.
