Now on Tap - Wee Willy Scotch Ale

Scotch ales are strong ales also known as "wee heavy." In the 19th century Scotland, they'd also be known as 160/-, a nomenclature based on the now obsolete shilling currency. Scotch ales traditionally go through a long boil in the kettle for a caramelization of the wort. This produces a deep copper to brown colored brew. Compared to Scottish ales, they'll be sweeter and fuller-bodied, and higher in alcohol, with a much more pronounced malty caramel and roasted malt flavor. Our Wee Willy Scotch Ale uses peated malt in the mash. A smoky & peaty malt flavor is the result – kind of briney or sea-salty. Hopping is low but malt flavor and body is pronounced. Beer lovers - or Scotch whisky lovers - will really enjoy this 2010 GABF silver medal winning robust & smoky strong ale!
