COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Viborg Scottish Ale is true to the style with it’s slightly smoked malty caramel flavor and a buttery after taste that is especially pronounced because it’s brewed using an open fire in the old Scottish tradition. Because of the 7,6% alcohol it’s classified as a Wee heavy. For food Scottish Ale is nice with fish. Top fermented and cellared in 6 weeks.

pivnizub (7977) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - DEC 30, 2007
Bottle: Hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, quite stable creamy off-white head, aroma of sweet caramel, dried fruits with a tinge of hops; solid sweet-bitter flavour with a light acidity; sourish-fruity finish with a touch of roasted malt and a light, but distinctive bitterness in the aftertaste. Still good, but shy signs of an infection are detectable........
