Move over, mulled wine. This spiced Scottish-style ale delivers an abundance of holiday cheer. A medium-bodied, malty, clean ale provides the perfect base for a complex blend of spices guaranteed to warm your spirit.

Before hops became the conventional flavoring for beer, medieval European brewers used proprietary spice mixtures, and many modern breweries still use a blend of spices along with hops for seasonally-brewed holiday beers. In this recipe kit, we started with a Scottish-style ale and added a blend of spices and quality ingredients to create a delightfully sippable beer with a sweet, exotic spice character reminiscent of mulled wine.
