A rich malt, light caramel, and biscuit profile (from as much malt as our brewhouse could hold) is accentuated by a slight alcoholic presence, while distinct honey notes compliment the dry finish. Pale copper on color with only enough hops to balance the huge malt profile.
SECRET TECHNIQUES
Scotch Ales focus on malt (and booze) but ferment cooler than most other ales to rein in harsh alcoholic burn and have very low hopping rates. The addition of honey adds a layer of complexion and dries out the finish.

Can, from Broadway Dive Bar, Manhattan NYC (Jul 2025). Pours cloudy reddish dark amber with a very small frothy beige head, sweet caramel-dried fruits aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish dried fruits-caramel taste, smooth body, long finish. Well balanced despite the ABV.

Can. Pours a clear deep amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of slightly sweet grains with bread and a hint of caramel underlying. Flavor combines sweet bread and grains with a bit of toffee coming through.

Deep caramel-copper body, thick puffy cream/light brown head. Aroma of caramel, honey, and toast. Nice, crisp, sweet but not syrupy or cloying body with honey, caramel, toasted malts, and bubblegum or tobacco. Really damned good.

Dirty river water brown with a large foamy tan head. Aroma is caramel malt, salt water and treacle. Flavor is treacle and cherry with some honey and molasses. Very thick mouthfeel with loads of malt a little sweetness but no alcohol at all. Pretty tasty Scotch ale. Heavy and tasty malt with some sweetness but nothing overpowering.
