Back in 1983 when Harviestoun first started making innovative beer, the whole craft beer thing was just a glint in Harvie’s eye. Now, more than thirty years later they are proud to be the forefathers of this movement to better beer.
Harviestoun is a proud, family run business championing a dedication to the craft that produces award winning, natural brews whilst using the finest ingredients and purest Scottish water from the heart of the untamed Scottish Highlands. Focussing on the quality of their beer has led to them becoming one of the most awarded breweries in the UK.
An unusual name for an unusual beer. Strong and dark but wickedly, wickedly smooth. Chocolate dominates the flavour, which is nicely balanced by the bitterness of the hops. A delicious “after dinner” beer which leaves a bittersweet aftertaste to savour.

Now I’m working my way through the beers in the book 1001 before you die (they ain’t all great to be honest).
I’d been in Perthshire where this is brewed but hadn’t come across any, but good old Beers of Europe had canned version in stock (usually hand pump or bottled man).
I loved this and I’d love to put this against Guinness in a blind tasting my money would be this came out head and shoulders above the over advertised popular brand. Worth 5 stars to my taste buds

Dark, rich and with a lovely smooth roasted maltiness. A supremely satisfying dark ale.
