Self-Defined Style: 
Strong Dark Scotch Ale
Strength (ABV): 
9.2% ABV

This strong ale style comes directly from Scotland, boasting a huge, complex maltiness and very full body, which finishes with a long, herbal, hoppy dryness. We craft this traditionally big, malty beer from imported Scottish Maris Otter pale malt and a touch of roasted barley. We then caramelize the strong wort in the kettle and subject it to extended cold-conditioning to round out its myriad complexities.

Strong Scottish Ale
Strength (ABV): 
8.0% ABV

This jaw-dropping Scottish strong ale (8% ABV) is brewed with bodacious amounts of malted barley and specialty grains, and a dash of beechwood-smoked malt. Old Chub features a skim-milk mouthfeel, semi-sweet flavors of cocoa and coffee, and a kiss of smoke. A head-turning treat for malt heads and folks who think they don’t dig dark beer.

Sixpoint
Self-Defined Style:

29 IBU

The Groundskeeper Spilly Is Sixpoint’s modern interpretation of a classic beer style. Inspired by the maltiness and subtle nuances of the classics, the Spilly emerges with a plum and spice palate, rounded out with a kiss of caramel. Subtle peat smoke finish coupled with pepper hop leads way to a palate-cleansing raspberry sorbet. This is the ultimate beer to sit back and appreciate fireside at cellar temperatures.

Self-Defined Style: 
Barrel-Aged Scotch Ale
Strength (ABV): 
10.0% ABV

The idea behind the Dark Island Reserve was to create a super-premium, unique and special beer that set new standards in Britain in quality of product and packaging. Since it’s won the packaging industry award for presentation, I think we can say we are achieving our aims.

Using our iconic Dark Island Ale, which is then matured in aged Orkney malt whisky casks for three months, gives this bottled ale a new dimension. Its’ 10% alcohol by volume means this ale is designed to be savoured.

Best With: 
Norman Sinclair recommends drinking his Dark Island Ale with pate, red meat dishes, & strong cheeses.

Allagash
Self-Defined Style: 
Scotch Ale
Strength (ABV): 
10.0% ABV

Musette is Allagash’s newest release in our Barrel Aged Series. The beer, inspired by the Scotch ale style, is a traditional and popular style in Belgium. Typically known as a dark and sweet, strong ale, Scotch ales are rarely brewed in Scotland anymore but still remain popular in Belgium, where they were originally thought to have been brewed for servicemen during World War I.

Best With: 
This mildly sweet beer is a perfect pair for barbeque pork and beef brisket. For dessert, the bitter and sour taste of dark chocolate will truly amplify this beer’s unique palate.
