Description
Five Kingdoms microbrewery began in 2015 and sits in the beautiful harbourside village of The Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway. The small fishing village is nestled on the tip of the Machars peninsula, close to the stunning Galloway Forest hills and is Scotland’s most southerly brewery. Five Kingdoms, so called because England, Ireland, The Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland can all be visible on a clear day from the Isle.

It came about through a mutual passion for beer of publican Alastair Scoular who owns and runs The Steam Packet Inn, the village’s only pub and his head chef Brendon Dennett. Brendon, who had previously worked at renowned Scottish brewery 6 Degrees North in Stonehaven brought this wealth of brewing knowledge to the partnership. With the location, premises and experience of the pub trade and a pure passion for real ale, Alastair and Brendon were the perfect balance for a successful venture to create honest, fine ales.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#11. Dark clear amber in colour, edging towards brown. Traditional brew, fairly malty, quite hoppy too, with the former having the edge.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#10. Clear golden, golden-style ale, quite regular in design. Hoppy, on the bland soapy side.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666.
Appearance - dark brown with a thin beige head.
Nose - light roast and coffee. Some soapiness.
Taste - chewy toffee, burnt bread and syrup.
Palate - burnt coffee and toast. Very bitter.
Overtone - a bit gnarly but not bad.
