Common descriptors are
This Scottish Ale was a 2015 GABF Bronze Medal Winner and a 2016 AmeriCan beer festival Silver Medal Winner. It’s all about caramelized malt notes that showcase tones of brown sugar and toffee. Deep amber in color and a smooth finish. Traditionally Scottish Ales contained very minimal to zero hops allowing the higher amount of malt to shine through in the form of sweetness. We took our time to caramelize the brewing sugars to create a low bitterness, sweet beer with notes of caramel brown sugar and cinnamon.
