This was a "special" from my local homebrew store that I spotted on their website. I’m a big fan of Scottish Ales, and this is an 80 schilling variety, technically called "export." Judging from the ingredient list, this ale is malty and sweet with minimal hop bitterness and aroma.
By the by: the /- is shorthand for shilling.
Next time, to make this beer more to style, I think I’ll take the dark crystal down a notch to bring the color to the 9-17 SRM range for the style. Instead of Crystal 150, maybe Crystal 60, 40 or even 20. Maybe a slightly higher AAU hop like Fuggles instead of Progress as well as light extract instead of amber. Maybe.
