Real Ale Mysterium Verum Shipwrecked

Strong Scotch Ale

If you ever lay your eyes on these barrels, you’ll understand why we call this beer “Shipwrecked.” These barrels have been from Kentucky to Ireland and back, landing ultimately in Blanco, and the signs of travel show vividly on their surface. That being said, it’s the inside we are interested in! Our strong scotch ale, Real Heavy, was aged in these barrels for 6 months. An aroma of slightly tart, dark fruit, and hints of vanilla mark the nose. The flavor follows up with the classic scotch ale caramel malt flavor, dark fruit, and a sweetly subtle whiskey barrel character.

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.

Named for a medieval Scottish sword, Claymore Scotch ale is a tribute to the legendary "Wee Heavy" beers of Scotland. A malty, deep-ruby-hued ale, it features a generous amount of caramel sweetness, a reserved hop profile and a subtle warming character, at 7.7% alcohol by volume.

Strength (ABV): 
7.2% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
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.

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.
