Strong Scotch Ale 7.9 º

Brewery John Martin & Brewery Timmermans

This Scottish Export presents a bold, malty profile with a deep ruby hue and a generous, creamy head. The sensory journey begins with an inviting nose of rich toffee, toasted breadcrumbs, and subtle butterscotch. On the palate, a profound bready maltiness is layered with caramelized sugar and delicate pome fruit esters. Despite its higher strength, it maintains the style's signature balance, offsetting residual sweetness with a touch of roasted dryness and earthy English hop notes. The result is a full-bodied, persuasive ale that marries the severity of its Celtic roots with a warm, sugary finish and a clean fermentation profile.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark ruby-brown (17-20 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a generous, creamy, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high malt intensity featuring rich caramel, toffee, and toasted graham cracker. Subtle sugary notes of butterscotch and biscuits are present, alongside a very light pome fruitiness and a faint earthy English hop character.

Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet. Dominant toasted-bready flavors with layers of caramelized sugar and toffee. Low to moderate bitterness provides enough balance to prevent a cloying finish. The aftertaste is primarily malty with a faint, clean roasty dryness that provides a crisp counterpoint to the lingering caramel.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-low, producing a smooth feel. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its higher strength without being harsh.
