Williams Bros. Brewing Co.

Heather Ale·United Kingdom·11% ABV·One of 2 Heather Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Fraoch Barrel Aged's oaky and spicy character. Deep gold to amber Heather Ale of imperial strength, brewed in 2011 for aging in Scottish whisky casks from Speyside. Whisky, oak, sherry, heather and herbs on the nose and palate, with a light acidity and a sweet, herbal body. Fraoch's honey, malt, spice and floral character is enriched by oak, dried fruits and sherry. Unfiltered and un-fined, so it may pour hazy.
