The worts was produced from a traditional turbid mash with a decent quantity of maize, giving a more delicate flavour and paler colour than malted barley. It underwent spontaneous fermentation in a small Islay whisky barrel, imparting aromas of maritime peat smoke.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpon tasting the barrel, we were delighted to find the beer possessed just the right balance of dry-bitter and sweet-acid, as well as the necessary body to carry the smoke, without the need for the ABV-boosting sugar additions we have previously utilised to strike the right balance with these smoky beers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinally, the beer was conditioned in-bottle for four months. A large dose of priming sugar was added to produce a rolling, Champagne-type, carbonation. The resulting beer drinks remarkably easily, with delightful sweet, smoky, and spicy aromatics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mills Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57892270539136,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/9663\/1759\/files\/Mills_Tiny_Islay.jpg?v=1776350107","url":"https:\/\/radbeer.com\/products\/mills-tiny-islay","provider":"RAD Beer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
