Aye Laddie,
Some people call this strong brew (8.5% Alcohol) a “Scotch Ale” other's might call it a “Wee Heavy” and some more people may even call it a 160 shilling because in the 19th century that's how much it cost. If you're not careful drinking these you will get very “ratarsed” ( Scottish slang for drunk)... It can get you so ratarsed in fact that you may invent a game stranger than Golf or Curling.
Scotch Ales traditionally go through a long boil in the kettle for a caramelization of the wort (Similar to Guinsess but not a stout.) This produces a deep copper to brown in colored brew. Compared to other ales, they'll be sweeter and fuller-bodied, and of course higher in alcohol, with a much more pronounced malty caramel and roasted malt flavor. Best served in a "thistle" glass.
