Beer Profile

Auld Girthy

Auld Girthy is a robust Wee Heavy with a rich amber to deep copper hue and a moderate 8.8% ABV. Despite its intensity, the beer balances a malty sweetness featuring caramel, toffee, and subtle roasted notes with a surprisingly bold bitterness reflected in a high IBU of 264. Aromas of toasted malt and dark fruit emerge alongside hints of spice and earthiness. The full-bodied mouthfeel carries the complex flavors smoothly, making it a warming and layered example of the Scottish strong ale tradition with an assertive hop character uncommon for the style.
