Scottish and Iris Ale 6.5 º

Cerveza Salvaje

This Glasgow-inspired Scottish Ale presents a robust sensory journey through its maturation in Scotch whisky oak barrels. At 6.5% ABV, it elevates the traditional malt profile of caramel, toffee, and toasted breadcrumbs with sophisticated layers of vanilla and charred oak. The whisky influence introduces a subtle spirituous depth that complements the bready English biscuit and ladyfinger notes. Despite its strength, the beer retains the soul of a classic Scottish Ale, balancing sugary malt sweetness with a refined, slightly roasty dryness and a whisper of earthy hop character. The result is a complex, contemplative, and warming profile where the barrel wood provides a structured, elegant finish.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown (17-25 SRM). Excellent clarity with a low to moderate, creamy off-white head that exhibits decent retention.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a rich malt core of caramel, toffee, and toasted graham crackers. The barrel aging adds prominent layers of oaky vanilla and a distinct Scotch whisky spirit character. Very low earthy hop aroma and light pome fruit esters are detectable behind the spirituous warmth.

Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet, showcasing flavors of caramelized sugar and toasted bread. Mid-palate introduces oak tannins and a smooth whisky flavor. Hop bitterness is low but sufficient to balance the residual sugars. The finish is defined by a slightly roasty dryness combined with lingering notes of toffee and wood-derived vanilla. Clean fermentation profile with minimal esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth from the 6.5% ABV and barrel aging is present, without being harsh or fusel.
