The web site says: " Layers of rich, sweet, powerful earthy malt - like a freshly baked bread—makes Kilt Lifter great by itself or with food. A subtle underlying smokiness from the addition of a small amount of peated Scotch whisky malt adds complexity. Round and satisfying with light hop notes.
At the turn of the 20th century Edinburgh was famous for a dozen breweries that produced a strong and malty ale. There to this day, a Scotch is a style of beer, not a whisky! Because Scotland had no hops, they relied on Kent in England for their supply, so the style is more malty than hoppy. 6.5% ABV"
A very nice beer with a slightly sharp taste that made it interesting. Nice flavor and good body. A very pleasant drink.
