We wanted to create a true representation of Scotland, away from the tired cliches and usual tropes you might see on TV. A bold and unique idea was needed to showcase Scottish culture in all its glory…
Then we thought, screw that, let’s brew a double deep-fried m*rs bar imperial stout and make it 15.5%.
Deep fried m*rs bars are as synonymous with our country as haggis or Iron Brew, and we wanted to bring this dessert to life in a beer. With Neon Raptor’s help we packed it to the brim with chocolate malt, cacao nibs and an authentic deep-fried taste from adding battered m*rs bars right into the mash tun.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Pours black, thin dark brown head. Aroma oozes sweet unctious caramel and milk chocolate, Mars bar. Flavour profile builds on this wondrously, definitely all about the chocalatey caramel without getting too rich, just enough for the ABV. Intense, but right up my street.

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - opaque black with a tan crema head. Nose - pancakes, chocolate spread and hazelnut. Taste - luscious toffee, caramel and sweet chocolate. Wafer and pancake backdrop. Palate - medium to full bodied, rich and creamy middle and finish. Overall - luscious.

Tap at The Hanging Bat, Edinburgh. Opaque colour and small beige head. Strong sweet peanut butter and nuts aroma. Full-bodied. Liquer mouthfeel. Vanilla, peanut butter, toasted malts, nuts ... hides abv well but is quite sticky stuff.

Can from Eltham Wines. Black pour with a tan head. Full on milk chocolate, nougat and caramel aromas, spot of cocoa & creamy coffee. Liquid Mars bar taste, touch of coconut lurking around in the background. Sweet and soothing flavours.Alcohol warmth comes through in the latter stages.Scrumdiddlyumptious

Appearance is jet black, with a small fizzy tan head which quickly goes. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, brownie, dark malt, fudge, chocolate cake, ice cream. Taste is chocolate cake, caramel shortbread, fudgy malt, chocolate sauce, brownie, sweet caramel, ice cream with chocolate sauce, toasty roast malt, sweet sugary finish. Treat-like. Plenty of Mars bar, not much deep-fry.
