Hossack's Scotch Ale is a tribute to the Scottish abolitionist John Hossack, who once called Ottawa IL home. This rich and full-bodied beer is brewed with a blend of malted barley & specialty grains, giving it a deep caramel color & a complex flavor profile with notes of toffee & dried fruit.

Canned 11/21/24; drank 3/3/25 @ the Yarchives.

Murky brown/orange appearance.

An even pour yielded a small khaki head; decent lacing remained.

Caramel, banana & faint leather notes in the nose.

Creamy medium thick mouthfeel.

Caramel & banana flavors; mild cream & faint leather notes on the finish.

A solid Scotch Ale; I'd have another.
