Highlander Scotch Ale
Scottish Export 80/- • All Grain • 5.25 gal
This brew turned out to be delicious. It originally started out as a Road Dog Ale clone from Scott Russell's book, "Clone Brews." But I decided to thrown in an ounce of Black Patent since it was laying around. Excellent brew, give it a whirl!
