ABOUT THE BEER:
True to style, this “wee heavy” ale is dominated by malts and pours caramel in color. This beer is high gravity, weighing in at 8.5% ABV. To produce a 7 bbl batch of this beer requires approximately double the grain bill that our typical batches of beer use. The grain profile of this beer is complex and includes malted and unmalted barley. Although the name may imply that this tastes like Scotch Whiskey or uses Scotch in some way, the name “Scotch Ale” is only a reference to the geographical origin of the beer style, which comes from Edinburgh, Scotland. Scotch Ales are stylistically similar to English Strong Ales and Barley Wines.
ABOUT THE NAME:
To name this beer, we dug in to the rich history of an iconic local landmark, Logan Pass in Glacier National Park.
The Logan family left a lasting impressions on the Flathead Valley and Montana. This new beer is a Scotch Ale in honor of the original Scottish heritage of the Logan name, and we call this beer “Logan’s Lass” as a tribute to the widow Odelia, who followed William across the rugged Montana frontier, became a Helena cattle baroness, and raised the two sons who are credited with forming Glacier National Park. Cheers to Odelia: Logan’s Lass!

On tap at Bias, pours a deep dark brown with an amber tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out light peat, with gentle caramel and bready malt. Flavour is robust, with dry caramel, peated notes, and dry bready malt. Nice dry caramel character, with little sweetness. Very good.
