From Heavy Seas:
BALTIMORE, MD --- Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to introduce a brand-new, draft-only
program, the Desert Island Series. This program features “one off” releases of
beers designed by individual members of the Heavy Seas brewing team. Each beer in
the series will be limited to only 100 barrels available at select locations within Heavy
Seas’ 18 state distribution footprint. The first beer will be available in February.
According to brewmaster, Chris Leonard: "Rich caramel maltiness adorns the
first offering in our Desert Island Series - a strong Scottish Ale at 8% ABV. This
interpretation of the classic Scottish style is warming and malty while maintaining an
earthy hop balance. Dark amber in color, rich fig aromas and toasted caramel flavors
dominate this hefty tipple. If you can't get yourself to a desert island, this brew is the
perfect answer to the winter chill.”
Leonard also adds that this beer was conceived and executed by Heavy Seas
Brewing Team Leader, Chris Schultz. “The beer is comforting, cozy, reassuring and
mellow - just like Mr. Schultz! The goal was to produce a malty yet balanced beer that
would prove the ‘naye’ sayers wrong about this style's purported limited appeal."
The other beers produced in the series will be a Schwartzbier in April, an
American Honey Amber Ale in June, a “New World” Saison in August, a Smoked
Dunkel in October, and a Dopple Sticke Alt in December.
