Volume 6: Traditionally, the Scotch call this beer 90 shilling. At Terrapin, we know it as “90 Shelling.” Magnificently malty, this 90 Shelling Scotch Ale pays tribute to the full bodied ales of Scotland.

Sweet malt, almost like a dubbel. Some home and lightly sweet malt. It doesn’t have a lot to it. Thin on the palate. Dry grain finish.

Received 22-oz bomber via Sumer 09 Secret Santa. Pours a semi-clear dark brown colored brew with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of toasted biscuity dark malt, peat, a hint of chocolate and some dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of toasted caramel malt, some chocolate, peat and some dark fruit. Finish is semi-sweet with a malty and light chocolate aftertaste. Alcohol is well hidden but not as strong as some of the other Scotch ales I’ve tried.
