Our strong Scotch ale, named after a small town in Scotland that's also the ancestral home of one of our brewers, is brewed with lightly fruity scotch ale yeast and rich, caramel, raisiney malt flavor. A hefty dose of orange peel is then added to lend a light citrus flavor to the beer.

On tap at Big Ditch Brewing Company in Buffalo, NY.

This one pours a fairly dark brown color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like dark fruit, brown bread, raisins, and light peat.

This is really well done scotch ale, it's got big malty sweetness and goodness here, with a nice creamy feel to it. There's light peat, lots of slightly sweet dark fruit, and a killer dark breadiness. I also get a touch of vanilla.

This is medium bodied, and finishes pretty clean, with a good level of drinkability.

I'm surprised by the quality of this one - I quite enjoyed it.
