Tasting Notes
A rich malt, light caramel, and biscuit profile (from as much malt as our brewhouse could hold) is accentuated by a slight alcoholic presence, while distinct honey notes compliment the dry finish. Pale copper on color with only enough hops to balance the huge malt profile.
Secret Techniques
Scotch Ales focus on malt (and booze) but ferment cooler than most other ales to rein in harsh alcoholic burn and have very low hopping rates. The addition of honey adds a layer of complexion and dries out the finish.
