Troegs Releasing Scratch # 182 Scottish Ale Today

From Troegs:

Scratch #183 - Scottish-Style Ale released today! In the early 19th century, Scotch whiskey drinkers were well aware of the high quality of malt produced in Scotland, and the burgeoning whiskey market presented an abundance of barley. In turn, brewers decided to craft ales with very high malt bills, thus yielding the strong, malty, and sweet flavors that have become hallmarks of the Scottish Ale style. By the mid-19th century, Edinburgh was acknowledged as one of the foremost brewing cities in the world, a fact that any proud Scotsman would be honored to flaunt. The flavor of this rich, full-bodied ale stems from the malt profile, which exhibits complex notes of roasted and caramelized barley, dried dark fruit, chocolate, toasted nuts, and a faint hint of smoke. 6.8% ABV and 36 IBU. Availability: draft and growler fills only.
