Here we have another new can coming from Monday Night Brewing in Atlanta, GA. This is Bourbon Barrel-Aged Drafty Kilt and it is a Scotch ale aged in Bourbon barrels. This beer will clock in at 8.5%-ABV and you’re looking at the 12oz can that will now carry the new Independent Craft Seal from the Brewers Association. This is the commercial description from Monday Night:
What do Scotland and the American South have in common? An appreciation for good booze. But that doesn’t mean they always get along. We put our award-winning Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale in Kentucky bourbon barrels and let them duke it out in the cellar. Who won? You did. Oh, also we did. Again. A GABF Gold Meal. No big deal.
The chocolate, caramel, and roasted malts in Drafty Kilt complement the charred oak and vanilla notes in the bourbon barrels quite well. Notice we didn’t say “compliment.” Scotch and Bourbon still don’t send each other Christmas cards.
HOPS
Columbus and Willamette hops
GRAIN BILL
Roasted Barley, Chocolate Malt, Crystal Malt, Cherrywood-smoked Malt
PAIRINGS
Grilled meats, chocolate, a big juicy steak, strong cheeses
