| O.G.: | 1.040 - 1.054 |
| F.G.: | 1.010 - 1.016 |
| ABV: | 3.9 - 5.0% |
| Bitterness: | 15 - 30 IBUs |
| Color: | 9 - 17 SRM |
| Info: | Cleanly malty with a drying finish, perhaps a few esters, and on occasion a faint bit of peaty earthiness (smoke). Most beers finish fairly dry considering their relatively sweet palate, and as such have a different balance than strong Scotch ales. Commercial Examples: Orkney Dark Island, Caledonian 80/- Export Ale, Belhaven 80/- (Belhaven Scottish Ale in the US), Southampton 80 Shilling, Broughton Exciseman’s 80/-, Belhaven St. Andrews Ale, McEwan's Export (IPA), Inveralmond Lia Fail, Broughton Merlin’s Ale, Arran Dark |
