Brewed in collaboration with the famous St. Andrew’s Society Singapore, we’ve got ourselves a Wee Heavy of a beer, indeed! Malt-forward, with delicious hints of caramel notes and a full and robust mouthfeel, this beer will have you dreaming of the highlands of Alba. Gie it laldy and get it down ya! Available on draught and in cask.

Pours a dark amber with a two-finger white head.
Basically nothing for aroma. Maybe a hint of toffee. As it warms, there's still nothing on the nose.
The taste is more subtle than expected. There's caramel and toffee, and a lingering undefined sweetness. As it warms a pleasant burnt caramel comes out that provides some more depth of flavor. Finishes with slight bitterness that keeps it from being cloying. As it warms it just continues to get better--would have been good on cask.
Good feel, smooth and full.
Overall, this started as a poor example of a scotch ale. Turns out it was simply poured too cold. As it warmed it came alive and was quite pleasant. It isn't great, but it's really solid.
One issue is that the brewer lists this as a Scotch Ale, not a Scottish Ale. It misses the mark of the former style and is closer in profile to the latter, despite the hefty 6.4% ABV.
