A Scotch ale with complexity and depth. Rich caramel, brown sugar, and rye toast notes. This sipper goes down easily.

Loch Ness was released in March 2024 only at the SoPro Taproom, and only on draft. Had poured from crowler filled at Taproom, label handwritten "Loch Ness" and filled on "4/20," into squat Belgian tulip.
Pours deep chocolate brown with huge tan head, with excellent retention, leaving sketchy Belgian lace down the glass. Aromas of bitter herbal hops and mild roast malts off pour, then nice orchard fruit and a little mild caramel aromas, with the fruit continuing and the caramel, joined by other mild, dark malt aromas, growing as warms. On tasting, begins smooth, mild caramel, with a little hop bite and a bit of roast malt, then big, sweet orchard fruit, even a little citrus, before deeper, dark but not really roasted malts carry into a moderately sticky, alcohol-hiding finish, with a little of the fruit and some hop spice continuing long on the palate.
Most of us won't regret SoPro's decision to omit the peat, but a little more hop bite, or a little higher ABV, would carry this Wee Heavy from merely great into the realm of "grab some bottles for the cellar."
