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.

Cask, pint at the Queen Vic to celebrate 15 years of my former local, Cask Pub & Kitchen. It pours clear amber - brown with a decent frothy off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, woody, toasted nut, toffee, caramel, baked goods, brown bread, fruit pie crust and some toasty brown sugars. The taste is a dry, bitter - sweet character, firm bitterness which lingers, woody, resin, touch of tannin, toffee, toasted brown bread, nutty, hint of spice, leafy and some dull coffee beans character with a drying, woody finale. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not big and brash, but restrained and balanced. A solid bitter.
