I’ve always called this Fat Bastard… I think it used to be? Anyway, I love the idea of a scotch ale. Unfortunately most of them are too thin, too weak, or too tasteless to be enjoyed. This is not one of those! I go back to this beer often! It is all about peat, wood, and smokey malt! Pleasantly sweet with subtle chocolate and spiced fruit notes. It hides its 9% abv surprisingly well and makes a bomber go down way too fast! Another great beer to sit back and enjoy with friends, a plate of cheeses and a long game of Scrabble. And another bottle!
