The sporran is both a wallet and a form of genital armor. Similarly, this Scottish ale is both a fruit beer and a creamy, malty ale. The caramel, toffee, and toasty flavors begin in the malt bill
and are bolstered by a small lactose addition like the one we used in Mockless Lobster. Plenty of blackcurrants then went into the fermenter to round out the dark fruit flavors and add an unusual sweetness. The result is suitable both for times of peace and times of war.
