Drafty Kilt - A Beautiful Thing
This past weekend was the first sampling of the Drafty Kilt, our Scotch Ale which spent 4 weeks fermenting before spending another 2 weeks in the bottle. Since all 4 weeks were spent fermenting in a plastic container, there was a general expectation that this would be yet another case of over-bubbly alcohol water. But grace abounds. The Drafty Kilt is truly a work of art - a strong malty flavor with substantial caramel and a hint of smokiness. Original gravity was about 1.085. I think it may be my favorite beer yet.
I’m confident that it will continue to mellow out as it ages, but it’s a fantastic beer as is, if you ask me. This evening we’ll be running through all the latest beers again as a group and putting together game plans for each beer’s next batch. Stay tuned…
