Commercial Description:
Scottish Ales often carried a designation of “Shilling” based upon the strength of the beer, which then translated into the amount of tax paid on the beer. Most of you are familiar with Boscos “90 Shilling Ale”, a strong Scottish style ale we brew every winter. Our 60 Shilling Ale is not as strong and full bodied but loaded with both malty and roasty flavors. O.G. 1051 I.B.U. 33

Poured a hazy brown color with a small off white head. Caramel aroma with a bit of hops. Flavor was heavy on the caramel with a bit of rosted malt and a bit of hops. Medium mouthfeel with good carbonation.

Tap. Pours nut brown with a tall creamy tan head and has good thick lacing. Caramel malt aroma with hop notes. Hoppy beginning with a nutty caramel malt end. Creamy medium-bodied warm palate.
