Skye Black
Fruity and malty in the aroma, complex, full-bodied and malty in the mouth. The bitterness of roasted barley is smoothed by the sweetness of Scottish heather honey. The dark ruby colour comes from roasted barley, balanced with rolled oatmeal; both are milled in the brewery itself. Challenger and Progress are the hops. It takes its name from the Black Cuillin mountain range.
