Blackshaw Black
Introducing Blackshaw Black, paying homage to Blackshaw Farm and the brewery’s origins. The first beer had to be black, and so began the journey of crafting this unique brew.
The recipe started as a robust porter, but we wanted to amplify the roasted character from the barley and add more complexity, so came change to the roasted malts and the introduction of oats. The result? Blackshaw Black—a beer that sits comfortably between a robust porter and an oatmeal stout.
For the history buffs, oatmeal stout dates back to the early 1900s when it was known as a ‘nourishing’ stout, using oatmeal in the grain mix. Unlike the later sweet stouts made with lactose, these brews relied on oats for their distinctive character. Original Scottish versions used a significant amount of oat malt. Later we went through a shady phase where some English brewers would throw a handful of oats into their stouts in order to legally produce a ‘healthy’ Oatmeal Stout for marketing. Blackshaw Black features a generous, intentional amount of oats for a truly rich experience.

You never need to worry about the weather when you have such natural surroundings. Even on a day like today when you can’t see Arran, the mist creates a wonderful dreamy atmosphere on the farm. These beauties agree 😊
