RAW 2019 | Meet the Ales - A Taster

​It’s been a couple of years since the Club has run this popular event.  In celebration of its resurgence we have some quality ales on offer including these Award Winners:

DARK ISLAND RESERVE
This extraordinary ale, aged in whisky casks, lagered for 3 months in old Dalmore whisky oak barrels. This slow process makes a classic - a fruity, spiced, oak roasted malt flavour.  
 
Dark Island Reserve, Orkney Brewery’s speciality 10% ABV ale, has won a plethora of awards since it was introduced, most recently it secured the UK country winner accolade in the dark beer (strong) category, at the World Beer Awards in August 2018.  Also in 2018, Dark Island Reserve took the gold in the Cask Speciality Mid to Dark Beers category at the SIBA Scotland Independent Beer Awards.

BOLTMAKER
A well-balanced, genuine Yorkshire Bitter from Timothy Taylor, with a full measure of maltiness and hoppy aroma – Boltmaker is first choice for the discerning drinker – on both sides of the Pennines. 
 
Formerly known as Best Bitter, Boltmaker has won many awards over the years but most recently it was awarded the CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain in 2014 and Champion Beer of Britain – Bitter category in 2016.

CWTCH (rhymes with Butch)
It isn’t your average bitter - the hops do more to this deep amber coloured beer than just provide bite. Any old hop can do that! We’ve selected some of the most aromatic and tangy hops from the other side of the pond to give this red a fresh hit that complements the caramel flavours of the malts that gives this beer its colour. Drinkability and balance makes this beer.
 
Cwtch was crowned Champion Beer of Britain, Supreme Champion Bronze winner, and Best Bitter Gold winner in the 2017 CAMRA awards.
