Creamy chestnut-hued medium-bodied Scottish wee heavy brings whiskey-smoked caramel malts to sharp cola-hazelnut-walnut roasting and seductive black cherry-prune scamper. Toasted grains flatten out dried fruiting as sarsaparilla-like maple-birch sugaring rises.

Toasted barleymalt sweetness welcomes winsome chestnut-hued Scottish pleasantry. At midst, gentle hops envelop brown-sugared maple, hazelnut, and praline illusions. Thin dry prune finish picks up cinnamon banter, herbal tea spot, and earthy tobacco stint.

Strong malted barley flow given butterscotch influence backed by fruity notes. Fizzy hops soften maple creaminess and distant prune-date-fig tones for appealing well-rounded finish. Will appease wide range of drinkers.

Coppery Scotch ale retains soft-watered gently-hopped mocha dryness and swooning grapefruit-orange effervescence, peculiarly countering hearty ‘wee heavy’ rep. Regardless, toasted barley prompting cloaks caramelized raisin-fig souring and earthy peat register. Beneath slight metallic finish lies shy apple-peach-pear cluster.

Peculiar Scot-styled ale finds early charred wood affluence and Scotch malt waver seized by dull port wining. By thin finish, muted raisin-fig dip gives way to acrid orange-tangerine blotch and spicy cardamom splotch. On second passing, erratic fruited whiskey coarsening and sharp prune-fig pungency undermine musty peat earthiness.
