The Champion Beer of Scotland recognises the best beer that can be found specifically in Scotland.
This year’s Champion Beer of Scotland went to Cairngorm Brewery’s Black Gold, a session stout at 4.4% ABV.
A worthy winner of the prestigious award, Black Gold was described by judges as having a roast malt which dominates throughout, with a slight smoky aroma which led into liquorice and blackcurrant flavours for a subtle sweetness. The sweet background flavour is complemented by a very long, dry bitter finish.
