This malty beer is crafted in the tradition of the Scot's scottish ale. We mashed at a higher temperature to gain a fuller body by building more dextrin in the wort and the extended boil created a greater caramelization character. This ale has rich aromas of toffee and caramel with low lying esters of fruit, (from the UK yeast). With a cold conditioning stage, we let the flavors develop. The hop aroma is subdued as the malt is the forefront with a medium - high mouthfeel and a melanoidin richness on the palate with the faintest hint of smoke. Slainte Mhath!!!
