Description
Situated just off the West coast of Scotland the Isle of Arran is arguably one of the most beautiful and dramatic islands in Europe. The splendour and diversity of the landscape has led it to be considered by many as Scotland in miniature. Nestled between the islands largest mountain, Goatfell, and the imposing Brodick Castle lies Arran Brewery which has been brewing award winning craft beer for over two decades.

Opened in late March 2000. The 20BBL plant originated at the Tipsy Toad Townhouse.

Panda via Grumbo, new region tick.
Clear brown, beige head. Aroma of dark fruity malts. Taste of dark fruity malts, caramel/toffee, bittersweet. Light thin body.
Not bad, as in no off flavours, but not really what I'd consider a stout.
