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.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma non è molto persistente. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, arrostito, agrumi e carrube.

As I'm on Scottish soil for the first time this year today's deadication beer goes to the 14th Duke Of Hamilton, who was born 122 years ago this very day. The beer is a strong hoppy Scottish made microbrew.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is caramel, cocoa, dark malt, lactose, fudge, milk chocolate, some fruits, subtle notes of smoke and whisky. Flavour is medium sweet with a mild roasty bitterness. Body is above medium with some nice creaminess. I would have liked for the smoke and whisky to be a bit more present. Good overall.
