I first brewed this beer because I wanted a dark beer with low IBU's. Now I brew this beer just for the great taste and flavor! You can't go wrong with one!

Easy kit to brew and, with the LalBrew Nottingham yeast, nailed the Scotch ale flavor. I'm doing BIAB and I think I was a little short on my start volume (7 gallons instead of my usual 7.5)...as a result, the ABV finished at 10.4%. Yeah...drink two of these and you better be taking Uber if you leave the house.Warning on the Nottingham yeast (see my review) which is the perfect match for this kit - it is super aggressive; start with a blow-off hose and a 6.5+ gallon fermentation vessel (or plan on mopping the ceiling like I had to).

This is an excellent kit, brewed it twice in 10-gallon batches, both times coming in at 11.1% ABV utilizing 2200 ml yeast starter. Great malt flavor and an easy brew day with only two hop additions.

A nice “wee heavy” ale. I brewed the AGK version using a single infusion at a 153 mash temp, standard mash out and fly sparge. Utilized Edinburgh Ale yeast in a 1L starter. 2 week fermentation and 2 week bottle condition to first sample, good color & carbonation with solid head retention.It is a bit less sweet than some other scotch ale's I've had but overall quite tasty and true to the style. Yes I would brew this again.

Added oak cubes soaked in bourbon as well as vanilla beans after racking to secondary. Turned out quite tasty.

Very smooth, everyone that I know keeps asking me to make this one again.

I pitched in some of the White Labs High Gravity Ale Yeast (WLP099) and this turned out great! The flavor/aroma turned out more similar to a Belgian quad than a Scotch ale. I've found this a great base beer for experimenting with. I'm ordering more now!

I expected more of this recipe. Very standard Scottish ale, didn?t get the body and sweetness I like of Scottish ales.

Turned out amazing and I will be buying this one again. Great to have on tap to balance out offerings of IPA or Pils.

Was a very nice beer! Not disappointed!

Yep I made this beer twice and dumped each batch. I thought I'd really screwed up the process, because to me it was terrible. Then I bought a Kiltlifter from Moyans brewery and It tasted very similar to what I had produced. So If that beer flavor is what you want then, this is the kit! I guess my palate just doesn't get the scottish yeast. I'll rate this product a 4 because it sure does taste like scottish beer, I just should have tried some before plunging in.
