From our series "Wicked Tales of Scotland" - 4 whisky barrel-aged beers released at the brewery February 2nd 2019.
10% Whisky Barrel Aged Peated Baltic Porter (Bowmore)
The Black Cat – or cat sith in the local tongue – is a fairy creature, always known for the white spot on its chest and for being as large as a grown-up dog. Known to haunt the Scottish Highlands, it was feared by the Scots, especially around the time of a death. If the corpse had not yet been buried before the Black Cat appeared, it would steal your soul before the gods claimed it. What was left behind was a soulless spirit, doomed to forever roam the borderlands between Heaven and Hell. Oh yes indeed, the Black Cat is a beast largely to be feared. Temperamental as most felines and risky to deal with. Some households feared that only a constant supply of fresh milk in the barn in a specific Black Cat saucer would keep them fortunate. And those farms that did not put out a saucer of milk would be cursed by having all of their milch cows run dry.

330 ml bottle, shared with Holmen1 and Holmen2. ABV is 10%. Dark ruby colour, off-white head. Malty and oaky aroma, notes of Scotch whisky. The flavour is also malty and oaky, again with notes of Scotch whisky. Warming mouthfeel.

De Tercertiempocervezas. En copa Mahou Barrica. Jugando a Spider y luego a Gylt. Perfil eminentemente peated, aunque por suerte no llega a saturar y eso que a mà no son notas que me agraden. De la baltic porter de base no queda rastro.
