The Daddy Mac is our answer to a malty, smooth Scottish ale! Developed by our brewer Wes in his spare time, this recipe won him second place in the Indiana Brewer's Cup in the Scottish and Irish Ale category. Amber malt gives this beer a nice nut character, which is enhanced by crystal 60L and chocolate malt, which give it sweetness and roastiness respectively, while also giving it a nice brown hue. A single hop addition gives this beer just enough hops to balance the malt character and sweetness. Ferment this at cool temperatures with an authentic Scottish yeast strain, and you've got a nice, malty, and highly drinkable Scottish-style ale that will have you thinking you are in the Scottish Highlands!
