Description
Loch Lomond Brewery started life in our kitchen in Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond.

A desire to brew beer and create a family business that would allow the whole family to get involved we started in 2011 in Alexandria.

Now having brewed a number of award winning beers including CAMRA Champion Beer of Scotland in 2017 and SIBA Supreme Cask Champion of the UK in 2016, we have recently rebranded to include a number of new beers in cask, keg, bottle and can.

Still brewing on our original 10bbl kit our passion has not faded - in fact we are probably more fanatical now about our existing beers and new recipes than ever before.

Cask at Three Judges, Glasgow - Deep brown to black body, thin tan head. Nose is tangy fruits, roasted malts, and a bold hoppiness. Slightly bitter at first taste, a little piney with some dark cake fruit bitterness. Well balanced with a nice solid oily mouthfeel. Very good.

On keg at Holyrood 9A. Appearance - a lovely amber to red. A decent thin lacy head. Nose - distinct but restrained Islay whisky note. Biscuits and toffee in the background. Taste - slightly overpowering smoking peat. Still toffee and sone sweetness in the background. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a finish that is interesting but that doesn’t completely refresh. Overall - needs more malt structure to take on the smoke.

Cask at Cloisters. Pours clear brown, thin white head. All about the malt this one! Toffee and maltesers. Little thin on the finish, but a nice, malty 60/.

On tap @ the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - opaque black with an attractive head. Nose - not getting roasty stout notes, rather sweeter porter notes. Taste - more of the sweeter porter notes, then the chilli hits gently at first, but it builds. As you drink this, you get accustomed to the chilli hit though at the beginning it’s a little much for my taste. Palate - medium bodied, creamy and spicy in the middle and burning if elegant on the finish. Overall - good effort at a difficult style. It’s just that this particular kind of beer is not for me. The underlying base beer is lovely though.

Bottle from Hippo Beers and keg at The Southern. Black body with a medium beige head that looks like espresso crema. Good lacing. Aroma of coffee, ash and brown bread. Flavour of dark chocolate, orange and Twiglets. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft carbonation. A wonderful, full flavoured Stout.

Pigs Ear. Hazy amber beer with a good pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and semi dry. Very modest carbonation. Very light of dark malts, barely there. Insipid dark fruits and perhaps a touch of spice. Vaguely cinnamon in the post light dry finish aftertaste.
