Orkney Brewery, Dark Island (Scotland) 
This dark, Stout-like beer is malty and dry on the nose, with bitter dark chocolate and some fruity hop notes. On the palate it is a tiny bit lacklustre; perhaps just a touch less exciting than the nose and colour promised, with some roasted, nutty flavours and again that malty note. It has a nice texture and weight in the mouth, and is definitely a good beer with only gentle carbonation and good length. A bit of a sleeper, it grew on me. 4.6% ABV, 33cl, Booth's, Luvians, Peckhams, WineRak Scotland.  |  |
