Heineken France

Adelscott presents a unique sensory profile for a Scottish Export, blending traditional malt richness with distinct peat-smoke character. The aroma is defined by a moderate-to-high intensity of dry, earthy smoke derived from whiskey malt, which layers over a base of caramel and toasted breadcrumbs. On the palate, the inclusion of corn contributes a light, creamy sweetness that softens the style's characteristic roasty dryness. Flavors of toffee and English biscuits are balanced by a subtle, earthy hop presence. This lager-fermented ale ensures a clean finish where the lingering smokiness and malty sweetness find a harmonious, moderate-strength balance.

Appearance. Pale copper to medium brown in color; clear with a moderate, creamy off-white head that shows good retention.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring prominent dry and earthy peat-smoke notes. Beneath the smoke lies a medium maltiness with scents of caramel, toffee, and English biscuits. Very low earthy hop aroma and light pome fruit esters are detectable against a clean fermentation background.

Taste. Initial impression is malty and smoky. Medium toasty-bready malt flavors with caramel and toffee overtones are complemented by a light, creamy sweetness from the corn. A dry, earthy smoke character persists throughout. Bitterness is low to moderate, serving only to balance the malt without becoming aggressive. The finish is slightly roasty and dry with a lingering smoky-sweet aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-low. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, and the beer is smooth with no astringency.
