Scotch ales are one of the most decadent malt showcases you’ll find in a beer. Ours is crafted with English Golden Promise malt for a traditional biscuity malt backbone, with additions of toasty High Color Pale and Munich II for deeper base malt complexity.
The aroma and flavor of this beer are bursting with burnt caramel, sugary toffee candy, and dried fruits like dates and raisins. The rich maltiness is balanced by alcohol warmth more than hop bitterness, though we do use traditional English hops for a touch of balancing bitterness as well.

Enjoyed from a single 16oz can brought back from Vermont by older daughter Caitlin.... Canned on 08OCT24...
Pours a dark, dense, opaque chestnut color. Has a thin, fine, creamy layer of beige suds sitting on top with light lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet, with caramel and toffee making appearances in the air. Body is in the medium range, with minimal prickle hitting the tongue.
Flavor is also lightly sweet, with a nice base of malt present. Has more caramel and toffee, along with a bit of brown sugar and molasses. Hopping is pretty much non-existent, with perhaps some subtle earthy, floral action. The malty side is decent, though, in this solid offering. Cheers!
