Strong Scotsman - Beer Recipe Kit

Original Gravity: 1.0901 Final Gravity: 1.0225 Alcohol by Volume: 8.854%

Two time "Best of Show" winner. This beer is rich and alcoholic but has a full bodied malty character that hides the alcohol quite well. There are more hops to balance out the intense maltiness. Because of how big it is it benefits from aging well. I recommend that you save back a few bottles to drink in 6 months to a year to really appreciate how the flavors meld.
