Auld Girthy

Auld Girthy is a robust Wee Heavy Scotch Ale with a rich amber to deep copper hue. At 8.8% ABV, it delivers a warming malt-forward character featuring caramel, toffee, and subtle roasted notes. Despite its substantial strength, the intense bitterness, marked by a high IBU of 264, balances the sweetness with a pronounced hop presence, adding layers of pine and resinous bitterness. The aroma reveals hints of dark fruits and malt sweetness, while the full-bodied mouthfeel carries a smooth, lingering finish. This beer showcases the depth and complexity typical of the Wee Heavy style with an unexpected twist of assertive bitterness.
