Skands Brown Ale
A round, sweet Scottish-style brown ale that puts malt in the lead: pilsner and biscuit malt give it a biscuity, nutty character, two caramelised malts add sweetness, caramel flavour and a reddish tinge, and a roasted, husk-free specialty malt brings chocolate, coffee and liquorice notes. Hop bitterness stays restrained. The recipe follows the Highland tradition of roasting and caramelising malt, much as for whisky.
