Description
Our 80 Shilling is deep red in color and very malt accented. Very little hop flavor or aroma is evident. It is basically our Scottish Ale’s little sister. This ale is lower in alcohol than the Scottish Ale. To give this beer caramel flavor, Our Brewmaster took a portion of the first runnings of wort and transferred it to the kettle.The Brewmaster then boiled these runnings for an hour to caramelize and reduce the wort. This gave the beer a nice caramel flavor. Scottish breweries list their products in ascending order of gravity and strength as Light, Heavy, Export and Strong. In the past, beer in Scotland was taxed based on strength, so the beers became known by their tax ratings: 60 shilling, 70 shilling, 80 shilling, 90 shilling. Alcohol content by volume might rise through 3, 4, 4.5 and 7-10.
