Resurrection beers are replicas of brews from the distant past, which exist only in brewing archives. 56/- was last brewed by Maclays of Alloa in 1909. Brewing at the Thistle brewery ceased in 1999, perhaps due to the overwhelming popularity of pale beers. This beer is dark red, well-hopped and has a complex, luscious flavour.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with red tints. Large off-white head that leaves light lacing. Strong aroma of yeast, dark chocolate, orange and rum. Flavour of sweet toffee, sugar, rum and raisin. Spicy finish. Tastes quite boozy for 7.0% ABV. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Lively fizz. An excellent beer - lovely warming alcohol and rich, heavy flavours.
