Beer Review: Rolling Palace II/III/IV – Black Isle Brewery

A lot of breweries feature a single hop series where the base of the beer stays the same and the only aspect that changes is the hop used. ‘Rolling Palace’ is Black Isle Brewery’s Single Hop Series. The original beer started as a one off but was so popular that the decided to create a series from it. I picked up versions two, three and … Continue reading Beer Review: Rolling Palace II/III/IV – Black Isle Brewery

Beer Review: Coco Van Porter – Black Isle Brewery

Work has meant I’ve had to put the hobby beer drinking on the back-burner for a little bit. I currently have a backlog of both beers that have been drunk and prime for review and beers that are nestled away in my fridge waiting to be cracked open. This ‘Coco Van Porter’ from Black Isle Brewery, up in Scotland, is one I’ve had shuffling around … Continue reading Beer Review: Coco Van Porter – Black Isle Brewery

This is their unfiltered IPA ‘Spider Monkey’ that’s also the strongest of the bunch at 5.2% ABV. These beers have been cracking fridge fillers over the last couple of months. While the quality has varied between each one, they have been … Continue reading Beer Review: Spider Monkey – Black Isle Brewery

Beer Review: 21 Pale – Black Isle Brewery

The penultimate of the Black Isle Brewery core range left to review. Working in a pub ironically leaves less time for beer so will be another quick one today from the back log. This is 21 Pale a (unsurprisingly) pale ale that was brewed to celebrate Black Isles 21st birthday. As with all their beers it comes in at a light 4.1% ABV. The beer … Continue reading Beer Review: 21 Pale – Black Isle Brewery
