La SILLY Scotch Pinot Noir Barrel Aged
La Silly Scotch est a high fermentation brown beer, Scotch type, which contains 8% alcohol by volume. Her dress, a beautiful coppery red, is matched with a beige foam. Its complex nose is reminiscent of brioche with raisins, candied fruit and fresh raspberry. Generous and full on the palate, almost sweet, it evokes honey and caramel before ending with notes of prune and roasted malt. Each year, the Brasserie de Silly ages its Scotch in barrels of different styles. The previous editions were aged in oak barrels from Bordeaux, Porto, Cognac, Whiskey, Chardonnay, Nuits Saint Georges,… This year, aging in Pinot Noir barrels, typical of Burgundy wines, gave Silly Scotch a flavor subtle and unique.
