Common descriptors are
ur Scotch Ale or "Wee Heavy," was included in this series to pay tribute to the hearty Scots who have enjoyed rich, full ales for centuries. This ale was traditionally made with malt dried in peat-fired ovens. This leaves a slightly smoky flavor adding to the malt character. "Wee Heavy" is made with fine Two Row barley and a portion of smoked malt, English hops, pure Moab water and Scottish yeast. It is aged in French oak and bottle conditioned. "Wee Heavy" is a brown-ruby rich color and has a sweet malt character. The Scotch Ale will pair with nachos, baked potato skins, smoked salmon salad or wrap, prime rib dinner and chicken and cheese enchiladas. Store upright and serve at 55 degrees F to room temperature. Use wide mouth glassware. Hand-crafted 100% pure ale. This full-bodied ale is bottled in limited amounts right here at the Moab Brewery. We brew and hand-bottle only 2000 bottles per year.
