COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Historically these beers are made malty and smooth to warm the insides and combat the cool, windy Scottish weather. Carolina Brewery continues this fine custom by carefully blending imported peat-smoked malt, roasted barley, and American two-row barley. This recipe produces an exceptionally well-rounded beer with subtle hints of smoke and berries with a firm balanced hop character.

From notes 11/3/03: Pours a muddy brown color with an easily formed light tan head. Spotty lacing. Aromas were malty, roasty, and a little smoky. As it warmed, a touch of a fruity berry aroma made its presence known. The taste was very chewy with malt. A sweet malty flavor that filled the mouth and kept the tastebuds busy. After the swallow, there was a hint of earth. An earthy smokiness direct from the soil. Nothing overbearing, but enough to make a difference. Some hoppiness to finish off the taste and give it just a subtle edge, but this was mainly for me peat, earth, smoke, and malt. Modest mouthfeel. It began with a chewy taste, but wasn’t an overly thick monster. Very drinkable. A nice seasonal from Carolina Brewery.
