🌍 Italy · Scotch Ale · One of 5 Scotch Ales in hopIQ

Born from a collaboration with Samaroli — one of the world's most important independent whisky selectors. Aged in Scotch whisky barrels from some of Scotland's finest distilleries, the ILA Scotch Ale is rich, warming, and layered with malt complexity. 'A bit like floating in a barrel in a calm sea of malty water — but don't be fooled, these waters are treacherous.' Dark amber with mahogany tones; a whisky-barrel aged strong ale of genuine distinction.
