Description
Old Worthy Brewery is the project of Nick Ravenhall on the Isle of Skye which started in 2012. The label's name comes from 'local worthies', Islay distillery men legendary for their hard work and their production of fine Islay single malt whiskies. Beers were initially brewed under contract by Isle of Skye but have mostly been brewed at Broughton.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of toffee apple, steel, copper penny and rust... Not great. Flavour of metal, tea and bitter green apple. Thin body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. All I’m getting with this is metal.

330ml bottle from great grog. Pours opaque dark brown with a thin bubbly tan head. Aromas of chocolate and caramel. Taste is more chocolate, faint salted note if you look for it, caramel for sure. Thin finish.

Clear amber pint with a thick white head. Not much aroma. Sweet fruity taste. The malt and hop does come through but almost as an afterthought. It’s a sipper but not one I’d rush back to.

Black stout with a bubbly beige head. Flavour is dry and malty with a touch of chocolate. In the aftertaste there’s a touch more hop. Very drinkable.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - dark brown with a nice head. Nose - dried fruits, wholemeal bread and a tiny bit of smoke. Taste - fruitcake, gentle smoke again, burnt raisin note on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish, bordering on astringent but good. Overall - yeah, interesting ale. Complex.
