80 Shilling Scotch Ale



IBUs: 23
ABV: 4.9%

The 80 Shilling Scotch Ale is a traditional Scottish session beer reflecting indigenous ingredients (water, malt), with less hops than their English counterparts (due to the need to import them). Long, cool fermentations are traditionally used in Scottish brewing.

Our Scotch ale starts with a beautiful off-white head above an intense amber body. A faint peaty aroma compliments a light caramel sweet entrance that gives way to a hint of smokiness and a dry finish. An ultra clean malty beer that will get your bagpipes blazing!

History of Beer Type:

This brew is an easy drinking session beer. This interesting ingredient is the peated malt. While the malt is in the kiln, peat moss outside the kiln is gently smoked over slow burning coals allowing its vapors to drift above the malt. Peat malt is used in the distilling of Scotland's finest whiskies, but has found favor with homebrewers and craft brewers in smoked beers. Adds intense iodine and seaweed smoke phenol character - a little goes a long way!
