Description
Holy Goat is a Dundee based brewery specialising in the production of mixed- fermentation and wood aged beers.

Mixed fermentation refers to the use of unconventional yeasts and bacteria in brewing, which allows production of beers with unique character. We are driven by experimentation and are obsessed with the awesome flavours which can be achieved from mixed-culture fermentations.

Inspired by tradition mixed fermentation beer styles we seek to pay hommage to our brewing forbears, using new techniques, fermentation styles and the highest quality ingredients to produce complex, interesting and (most importantly) tasty beer!

The breweries name references the tongue-in-cheek description of the ‘goat’ like qualities of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) characteristics. A reverence to this yeast and to the beers which display these characteristics is a strong part of the identity of the brewery.

Hail the goat!

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy amber body with a thick beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, fig and caramel. Flavour of fig and brown bread. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is good but not quite good as I thought it might be.

Немного странный стаут, есть вроде нотки брауни пирога, шоколада, а на вкус слегка пустовато оказалось, странные горькие ноты на финише ещё.

Идея прикольная, портер со сливой и добавкой ржи, причем весьма жаренной. Но по итогу как то без баланса и горько слишком.
