The scotch ale style, better defined as wee heavy, represents a Scottish-inspired beer, but which originates from the family of strong English ales. It is a rich and malty beer, which generally goes well with sweet flavors, but never cloying or one-dimensional.

Draft sample @ Birra Expo’14 Piacenza. Brune-acajou, col beige. Arôme malté, cara-pâle, crystal sur un agréable fruité noir et un rétro de biscuité et pain rappelant le gingerbread. Palais est légèrement fumé, malté caramel, touche tourbée? et un fruité noir plaisant rappelant figue et prune. Le tout garde une petite rondeur sucre caramélisé. Pointe d’épice rappelant la cannelle et encore ce profil gingerbread plus une légère amertume UK sur la fin. Le tout est accompagné d’une fine onctuosité pouvant laisser penser à du miel?

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, decent for style.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como
Very dark color, almost black; medium sized creamy head. Mild aroma of caramel, with hints of smoke and very light fruitiness. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is rather round; mild flavor of caramel, with nice and delicate smokey touch; low bitterness, maybe too low indeed.
A good beer.
