A Strong Scotch Ale. This is a very full-bodied, dark rich brew with a sweet malt character of much depth possessing the flavors of toffee, plums and currants. The hop varietal used in such small amount is English First Gold and can be barely discerned. The target gravity for this brew is 20 degrees Plato and hop bitterness of just 14 International Bittering Units, which is a measure of hop content.

Growler filled at the brewpub. Pours a dark hazy brown color with not much of a head. Earthy aroma with strong peaty notes and a faint caramel finish. The taste is toffee, nutty notes, berries, faint coffee notes and a smoky finish. Medium bodied.

I only sampled this beer, but woah - this one was solid - coming from someone who generally does not like wee heavy beers. Beer was a dark ruby color. Sweet aromas, caramel, lots of malts. Surprisingly with all the malt aroma and taste, it was a lot more light than I expected. Alcohol masked quite well.
