A traditional Strong Scotch Ale, this beer underwent an extra-long boil to caramelize the wort, giving the beer hints of caramel in the aroma. Fermented at 20% lower temperatures than most ales, the beer retains distinct sweet and malty flavors, balanced by the strength of the ABV. A touch of black barley gives the beer most of its color, with Fuggle hops added in very small quantities as well. At 7.3% ABV, good luck keeping your kilt on.
