Tartan Ale

Описание

This is a traditional Scotch Ale brewed at our Ottawa brewpub. It is made in the style of a Strong “Scotch Ale” being 8% alcohol and with a very full flavoured malty palate. The Tartan Ale is brewed with five different malts including British pale ale malt, roasted barley and caramel, biscuit and Munich malts to give it a rich maltiness and deep amber colour. We use an English ale strain from Burton that gives the beer a light “apple” fruitiness to lighten up the malt to some degree. The malt is also balanced with a small amount of British hops used without donating much flavour- hops are classically not a big part of Strong Scotch Ales which are famed for their massive caramel malt tones and warming character.
