Brewed By:
Orkney
Self-Defined Style:
Scottish Ale Dark Island is an iconic beer: a standard-bearer for traditional Scottish ales. In cask, this beer has twice won CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Scotland.
On the nose, this dark beer offers bitter chocolate, figs, toffee and hints of fruit.
On the palate, this resolves into beautiful, silky-smooth, coffee-and-chocolate flavours, followed by figs, dates and dried fruits, with a very appealing, lingering aftertaste of fruits and hop bitterness.
Best With:
Norman Sinclair recommends drinking his Dark Island Ale with pâté, red meat dishes, and strong cheeses.
