Six quality malts give this smooth, medium to full-bodied ale a deep ruby colour and a rich, dominant, sweet maltiness. There is velvety smoothness in the mouth, whilst the aroma is malty and biscuity, with hints of caramel, coffee and chocolate. Allow to warm to around 6-8ºC and notes of smokiness will come through. The use of the English ‘Fuggles’ hop balances the flavour nicely.

Brewmaster’s Comments
This is a complex beer, and a really enjoyable challenge to brew. As with many things in life, it all comes down to getting the preparation right – in this case the proper milling and proportions of the different malts is vitally important to the quality of the finished product.
We use 6 malts, 5 of which are specialty malts which add specific characteristics to the brew. For example, Crystal malt gives nice caramel, toffee notes, whilst Smoked malt imparts a very delicate smokiness which is noticeable when the Ale is served at 6-8ºC.
With the use of Ale yeast, fermentation takes place at higher temperatures (18ºC) over 5-6 days.

Porter
Dark & Smooth
Once you go black, you can’t go back. This velvety dark ale brings tantalising layers of chocolate, coffee and liquorice together in a rich, full-bodied and classically elegant way. For the ultimate flavour and finish, let it warm to 6-8°C…and see why it’s worth waiting for.

Scotch Ale
Deep & Rich
When you want to go deep and rich...there’s nothing like SIX quality malts to get you there. Combining them with Fuggle hops has created a Scotch Ale with pronounced caramel, coffee and chocolate notes. A full-bodied smoothness that is second to none enjoyed at 6-8°C.
