SCOTTISH ALE ~ HIGHLANDER BREW CO.

Highlander Brew Co. is located in South River, Ontario, in the Almaguin Highlands from which Highlander takes its name. The brewery is on the Northern edge of Algonquin Park, positioning Highlander as one of the most northerly craft breweries in Ontario.

The Scottish ale (from a bottle) poured rich coppery colour, with a thin layer of head.  The aroma was rich with a plethora of flavours to dance in your nose:  Floral hops, carmamelly malts, a little blackstrap molasses and bread and yeasts.    The taste leads with a caramelly maltiness, a wheaty breadiness and finishes with mild hops.  Though the beer finishes somewhat dry, hops are not the headliner, the malts are.  A fine pint indeed!
