Having been languishing in bourbon-imbued oak since August, this chewy Scotch ale has developed into something truly joyous. The aroma evokes Amaretto, muscovado sugar, toasted marshmallow and fudge; flavours of fruitcake, malt loaf and chocolate ganache follow. Many of the hallmarks of bourbon-barrel-ageing are present, although subtle - five months is a relatively short incarceration in cask. Hints of coconut and vanilla meld with brandy warmth, leading into a rewarding, full-bodied and sweet finish.
