Malted barley is a vital part of the Scottish brewing tradition. We use three different varieties to create the deep colour and smooth nuttiness; each grain is milled right here in our brewery, giving us complete control over flavour and freshness.
Then we balance this rich brew with just the right amount of Challenger and Fugle hops.
Hops: Challenger, Fuggle, Pioneer
Malts: Pale Ale, Crystal, Roast

amber pour with a lingering off white head. Toasted caramel malt aroma. I get a hint of smoke. The flavor is of rich toasted caramel malt with mild herbal hops to balance it. I’m pretty sure smoked malt isn’t involved here but I get a little smoky character regardless. It’s good.
