Simple to make

I made this brew using the Midwest Homebrewing Supplies Scottish Export 80/- kit with the addition of 3 more ounces of Peat Smoked Malt, 1 lbs of Molasses, and 0.5 lbs corn sugar. The Molasses and corn sugar were added near the end of the boil with 15 min boiling time remaining. I boiled the mash for a total of 90 min. Also the total volume of the batch was reduced from 5 gal to 4.25 gal.
A rich,satisfying brew

My first batch of this heavy scotch ale has now aged 3 weeks in the bottles. It has a rich velvety texture. There is a faint smokey after taste. I think next time I make this one I'll use 8 oz of peat smoked barley instead of 4 oz. What I can't figure out is the first flavor that hits my palate when I take a sip is a mild banana fruitiness. Where did that come from? It's not a bad thing, I just can't imagine how that got into this brew. Never mind - with 4 more weeks aging the banana flavor disappeared completely.

I think your banana flavor may have come from the yeast you used.....
