A strong scotch ale aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels...a terrific blend of the Scottish brewing tradition and American spirits melded together. This very full-bodied, dark brew possesses a deep, rich malt character as a result of an extended kettle boil. This brew expresses hints of toffee, plums, currants that are all intensified with an oak smokiness. Lightly hopped as a Scots brewer would with the English varietal First Gold.

On draft at Mad Fox. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small dark tan head, fast dissipating. Aroma was lots of woody vanilla notes, boozy bourbon. Smooth, really drinkable. Sweet caramel, light roasted burnt malt notes. Wood, and warming alcohol. Nice.
