Some Black Isle Beers

Back in August I had four canned beers from Black Isle Brewing Co, quite a good Scottish brewer. Three of these beers are made in collaboration with Flavourly.

Finishing off August

As I said in the last post, I have been having more of the new beers and in fact I think about one per day. So just to finish off August here are the rest of them, well most of the I will do the four from the Black Isle brewery in the next one.

Started more of the new beers

I have had a few more new beers over the last week and there may be even more before the month ends. All of these are beers that I bought online, in fact most new beers lately have been bought online, as I never get out, since Covid 19. 

Actually, we do have a trip away booked, in the motorhome for early next month and I just hope that everything goes well.  

Loch Lomond, Black Rain from Scotland

6.9% hazy dark brown in colour with a nice head, it really smells of lemonade, the taste is hoppy and bitter nothing like the strength it is.

7.8% deep gold in colour with a poor head, a sweet scented aroma and sweet strong taste.

Flavourly / By The Horns, Doozie from England

4.2% gold in colour with a thin head, mild spice hop aroma, a botter fizzy taste.

Downstream, Hybrid from Northern Ireland

4.0% gold in colour with a thin head, a sour citrus aroma, a bitter, hoppy, citrus taste

Four from the middle of August

These are some of the beers from the middle of August, I still have about 50 or more beers (I can not be bothered to count them) to try, so am making a start on them. The real reason for the lack of new beers drank lately, is that I bought lots of beers that I really like at the beginning of Lock Down, and have been drinking them rather than the new ones.

Williams Brothers, Caesar Augustus from Scotland

4.1% gold in colour with a thin head, hop aroma and taste, as it says refreshing taste.

Singha, Leo from Thailand

9.0% gold in colour with a thin head, a sweet toffee and fruit aroma and a strong toffee taste.

Flavourly / Fourpure, Monument Valley from Scotland

4.0% yellow in colour with no head, scented orange aroma and a hoppy orange taste.
