Black Islay is a special kind of beer I found and may be the worlds first of its kind. Black Islay is a 100% organic beer that is aged in 100% organic Scottish whisky casks. Black Isle Brewery Co located in Scotland and is responsible for this amazingly different type of brew.
The color of Black Islay is, well you guessed it pitch black with the liquid beeing clear with no signs of yeast in the bottle. The head is pretty thick with a light pale brown head that slowly diminishes. As you smell this black beauty you get the aroma of coffee, vanilla, dried fruits, and hints of the scotch from the aging process. The taste is where Black Islay steals your heart with sweet dark chocolate and coffee flavors in the beginning and slowly moving into the fruit and whiskey kick at the end. The finish and aftertaste is pretty dry with a strong whiskey taste lingering on the tip of your palette.
The Black Islay is 8.1% ABV and is a great beer to pair up with a big whisky. Black Isle Brewery recommends Bruichladdich Octomore, which is a Scottish Islay whiskey. Black Islay beer is very unique in a way that it is 100% organic, 100% whisky aged, and the beer is made in small batches with each bottle individually numbered. It doesn't matter if you are into light beers, Stouts, IPA's, or dark beers, I feel like everyone should grab a Black Islay and give their taste buds something to remember.
