Basqueland Highlander
Scottish and Iris Ale - 4.2º
Basqueland Brewing
Basqueland Highlander is a sessionable winter warmer that belies its modest strength with a deep, layered malt profile. Built upon a base of Maris Otter, this Scottish Light exhibits a rich, bready foundation. The inclusion of Crystal and DRC malts contributes complex waves of toffee and caramel, punctuated by the dark, jammy sweetness of dried fig. Fermented with Windsor yeast, the beer maintains a smooth, clean character that emphasizes biscuit notes, while a touch of torrified wheat and chocolate wheat provides a subtle roasty dryness and structural depth. It is an exceptionally drinkable ale that balances indulgent malt flavors with a crisp, inviting finish.
