The Bruery Glenwort
Scottish and Iris Ale 14.9 º
Glenwort is a massive, barrel-aged interpretation of a Scottish Light, radically transformed by its 14.9% ABV and maturation in Scotch whiskey barrels. It captures the rugged essence of Islay, delivering intense layers of peaty campfire smoke and earthy medicinal notes. A rich, viscous malt backbone provides deep caramel and toffee sweetness, while the time in wood contributes distinct vanilla and charred oak character. This full-bodied ale balances its significant alcohol warmth with a lingering roasty dryness, creating a sensory experience that mirrors a fine peated whiskey while maintaining the core malty profile of its namesake style.
Appearance. Deep copper to mahogany color; clear with a viscous, slow-moving pour; low, creamy off-white head with minimal retention and prominent legs reflecting the exceptionally high alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent peat smoke, campfire, and earthy-medicinal Scotch whiskey notes; secondary layers of rich caramel, toffee, and toasted malt; distinct vanilla and oak; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth.
Taste. Initial impression of intense malty sweetness and savory smoke; rich caramel and toffee flavors give way to charred oak and vanilla; moderate medicinal peat and earthy hop character; finish is long and warming with a lingering roasty dryness and smoky aftertaste; low bitterness effectively balanced by high residual extract and smoke.
Mouthfeel. Full, viscous body; low carbonation; significant, velvety alcohol warmth; very creamy and mouth-coating; minimal astringency despite the barrel influence.
