Beer of the Week

The beer: Old World

Brewed by: Tree House Brewing Company, Charlton, Massachusetts

Description (from Untappd): "Old World is our Scotch Ale. Brewed with a complex array of malts and fermented with a classic Scotch Ale yeast, this beer is a complex and smoky classic sure to delight lovers’ diverse flavors derived from authentic ingredients. Pouring a deep chestnut color in the glass, Old World carries intensely malty notes with gentle contributions of peaty smoke and caramel. The flavor follows suit with rich malt character, hints of kettle caramelization, and varied nuttiness. We are delighted to have this beer in our lineup. We hope that you love Old World as much as we do. Enjoy!"

Would I buy it again?: That rather depends on the time of year. When I first had one of these, I was in New Hampshire and it was unusually cold for late June. Cloudy and barely above 60. So a lot like Scotland. And in that situation, I loved this beer and would absolutely buy it again. However, drinking it on a 90 degree day in Maryland? I mean, it's still good, but this is not an easy-drinker. It's very heavy and complex, and definitely malt heavy. I'll save the one I have left for a more Scottish kind of day.
