Full-bodied, malty sweetness, cararmel & chocolate. A harmonious combination of seven different malts, dominated by caramel and backed by chocolate and victory, make this authentic Scottish-style Ale rich yet drinkable. Understated hops create a malt-forward pour. Our oldest recipe, dating back to 1991 - our Brewmaster sought to impress his audience with a complex, malty, flavorful offering that stood apart from the relatively bland beer landscape of the times.
