FROM THE LABEL: " MacFoochie's Scottish Ale is named for the *Maffucci clan who emigrated to America from the highlands of Italy in the late 19th century. This hearty ale style is believed to have originated in Edinburgh in the 19th century. Scottish ales tend to be a "wee bit heavy" and MacFoochies is no exception. We follow the traditional style of sweetness, full body, and a low hop flavor profile. The result is a complex beer yielding robust malt richness and subtle toffee tones. 

Our brewers describe this ale as; "dark as night and sweet as love, our Scottish Ale has a good dose of peat smoked malt and a unique touch of heather in addition to the hops. Enough strength to keep you warm on a long winter night, this fine ale can be consumed with or after dinner. 

*The Maffucci name was probably corrupted by the immigration official of Ellis Island in New York.

FROM THE MOUTH: SCOTTISH ALE: Sipping this beer on the porch in Winter Harbor Maine after a long drive up the coast. It is a welcome delight after a long day. The fog has rolled, the temperature has dropped so I needed something warm and this fit the bill. Definitely licking the bottom of the log here- very peatty but touched off nicely with toffee sweetness- a heavy full bodied beer that coated the glass at each sip. You could cap off an evening very nicely with this beer- as we did! A

FROM THE STORE: Liquor store in Cambridge, Massachuttes
