Brewed By:
Orkney
Self-Defined Style:
Wee Heavy Skull Splitter is our strongest ale: which is named after Thorfinn Einarsson who was the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney. Sophisticated, satiny smooth with a deceptively light character, it is a tribute to our colourful forbear.
Appearance
A crystal-clear, rich tawny-red colour beer; a tight, smooth head with hints of red and amber colour
Aroma
Juicy, almost fruity malt character, together with a medley of fresh and dried fruits, dates and figs, hints of ginger and cinnamon spice, hints of vanilla
Palate
A rich, fruity, wine-like complexity on the palate includes fresh and dried fruits, warm exotic spices, and light summer citrus fruits
Best With:
Norman Sinclair recommends drinking his Skull Splitter Ale with pâté, red meat dishes, and strong cheeses.
Special Attributes:
Digestif
