Hey Bierfreunde!🙋‍♂️
Die kalte Jahreszeit steht vor der Tür und unser Winterbier ist back!💥💣
Nach dem Erfolg im letzten Jahr haben wir die Rezeptur beibehalten und unserem Craft-Beer den schicken Namen "SCOTCH" verliehen.
Das Scotch besticht durch einen vollmundigen und süßlichen Malzgeschmack, gepaart mit einer sanften Bitterkeit. Der Einsatz von, über schottischem Torf, geräuchertem Malz verleiht diesem Bier feine Röst-und Raucharomen.🔥
Das perfekte Bier für all eure "ich hab's mir verdient"-Momente 😎

The Scotch in a very local brand I discovered four years ago in a café in Sankt Vith, where it is created - and stumbled upon again during a recent revisit to the German speaking part of Belgium. Thick and foamy, pale yellowish beige, frothy, moussey head on top of a dark and deep chocolate brown robe with burgundy-ruddy glow. Aroma of caramel candy, dry forest floor, fried oyster mushrooms, dried figs, toast, prunes, overripe medlar (pronounced), damp earth, clove, 'jenever', tea, dry moss. Sweetish onset, dark-fruity, hinting at prune, medlar and pear, medium carbonated with smooth mouthfeel, quite full in comparison with many other examples of this style - but not in a satiating or 'heavy' way of course. Caramelly core with brown- and eventually bitter toasted-bready edges, the latter reinforced by a dose of leafy hops; dried fruitiness lingers along an earthy touch, a glimpse of phenolic clove and a very subtle accent of warming, 'jenever'-like alcohol, but everything remains quite gentle and well tied together. Technically well made - Scotch ale is still relatively popular in Ostbelgien, I have noticed, and this certainly is one of the better examples of the region, if not the best.
