In celebration of Canada we have created a beer beyond the combination of grain, hops, yeast and water; one that instead represents a meeting of two countries, who’s rich and bountiful resources have helped to shape world-class spirits enjoyed far beyond their shores.

Matured in Canada’s finest rye whiskey casks, this beer embodies our unique connection in a bottle. The flavour from the oak barrels transforms the beer, creating a perfectly balanced blend of rye whiskey's spicy, sweetness and Scottish malts’ rich, earthiness.

Two countries intertwined; one outstanding beer that’s as irresistible as the friendship that underpins it.

Hops: Super Styrian
Malt: I&G Ale malt, Roasted Barley, Chocolate Malt

Bottle from the lcbo. Very dark copper pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is spicy, and warming reminding me of cold weather. Soft ripe fruit, dark fruit, light barrel, honey and pie spices. Mouth feel is a bit thin, and the carb is more of the same. Finish is lightly bitter, and quite sweet, with a soft spiciness, and ripe fruity rye.

Scotch cardboard tube with 500ml bottle in it. Pours a slightly hazed copper colour with a caramel-amber highlight. The head is lightly warm beige coloured with decent stay and a creamy base around the glass. Some dark fruits come out in the aromas, but berry notes are what I felt at first. Hints of Scotches, banana, caramel, wood and vanilla. Same for taste, but pretty light in the mouthfeel with some hops balanced to give a little dry end. Not too rich, not too thick and not syrupy. So, a very drinkable Scotch Ale.

This scotch ale poured a deep dark amber colour with a soapy, light tanned head. Minimal lacing. Scents include caramel, rye, rum and a light maple syrup. First swig was not as bold as expected. Minimal carbonation. Flavours of caramel and whiskey most prominent. Finish is malty with boozey notes linger.
