hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sweet and caramel character as Scotch Ale du Nord. A winter seasonal in the range since 2014, made by caramelising the wort over a long boil. That gives a deep, sweet caramel with a smoky edge the malt bill alone would not produce: toffee, brown sugar and a faint char over a full, slightly syrupy body. Hallertau and Willamette keep the bitterness low, so nothing much cuts the sweetness, and the beer opens up further when it is served closer to cellar temperature than to fridge cold. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
