Scottish Heavy 70/- • All Grain • 6 gal

I was very pleased with this brew. High malt and low hop nose makes it go down easy. I prefer it over-carbonated. It has a thick rich head and head retention is perfect. It tastes like a brown ale without the bite or smokeyness normally pronounced in a dark brew.
