Scottish and Iris Ale 13 º

Forager Brewery

Forager Brewery’s DBDB is a decadent Double Barrel Royal Scotch Ale that commands attention with its 13% ABV stature. This Wee Heavy displays a profound depth of malt complexity, weaving together layers of rich toffee, caramelized sugar, and toasted English biscuits. The double-barrel aging process introduces significant oak-derived vanilla and charred wood notes, complemented by a luxurious spirit-like warmth. Expect concentrated flavors of dark pome fruits and molasses that linger through a velvety, sweet finish. Its substantial presence is balanced by a subtle, earthy hop character and a light roasty dryness, creating a sophisticated and intensely flavorful sensory experience.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown; clear. Head is low, creamy, and off-white, with reduced retention typical of high-gravity, barrel-aged beers.

Aroma. High intensity. Rich maltiness dominates with heavy caramel and toffee, accompanied by dark fruit esters of plum and raisin. Pronounced oak character from barrel aging contributes vanilla, toasted wood, and a distinct spirit-like presence.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely malty and sweet. Deep flavors of caramelized sugar, toffee, and molasses are layered with dark fruit. The double-barrel aging adds complexity through oak tannins and vanilla. Bitterness is low, serving only to prevent cloying, while the finish is long, sweet, and warming.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous; low carbonation. Significant and pleasant alcohol warmth is present. Texture is thick and creamy with a slight velvet-like astringency from the wood.
