No, we have no idea what this means. But drink a few of these newly released 7% Scotch Ales and you will be instantly fluent. You may even start enjoying the sound of bagpipes for several minutes.
As for the tasting notes, mony a mickle maks a muckle — we can't make it any clearer than that. 20 IBU

473 mL can from the brewery; no canning date and served barely chilled.
Pours a foggy brick red-brown colour, taking on more of an orange-amber tone when held to a bright light. Situated atop is nearly two fingers of foamy, buff-coloured head that collapses within two minutes or so; the remnants include a frothy collar and little else of interest, with no lace to speak of. Unimpressive aroma of toasted grains, toffee, bruised apples and leafy hops.
As for the flavour profile, it starts out benign enough: malt-forward as you'd expect, with notes of bready malts, toasted grains and light toffee sweetness. Hints of whisky, plum and burnt wood by mid-sip, but the back end is where I start to lose interest - it's unusually boozy for 7%, but also quite watery, giving off a watered-down oak & whisky vibe that I don't really care for. It bugged me for the first few sips, then less so as the session continued. Medium-light in body, with relatively low carbonation that weakly agitates the palate; rather watery for the style. One serving was plenty.
Final Grade: 3.39, a B-. Have you ever finished a whisky on the rocks, picked the glass up twenty minutes later (after the ice has melted somewhat), then taken that last swig of watered-down spirit? That's the aftertaste of this beer. While not overtly offensive, it's also not terribly appealing, and I can't say I've tried any other Scotch ales with that finish. Other than that, I don't really dislike Yer Bum's Oot the Windae - it's just kind of 'blah', lacking the robustly sweet malt profile I expect from a Scotch ale. One of the weakest examples of this style I've had in years, best left as a one-off.
