====== Beam Me Up, Scotty ======
**Style:** Scottish Export/80\\
**Brewed:** 03/04/2010\\
**OG:** 1.052\\
**FG:** 1.012\\

**Summary**\\
Intended to be a malty scottish ale with elements of Scotch Whisky, but ended up less malty than intended.  As shown, it is a yellow, lightly malty, crisp ale with woodiness, mildly bitter, and little hop aroma/flavor.  It is sessionable, and maybe closer to an English Bitter style.

**Notes:**\\
This was my first partial mash.\\
I did not preheat or cover the mashtun, and lost 10F during the mash.\\
The oak flavor was overwhelming for the first 3 months, but mellowed with time.  At 6 months, the wood taste is still present, but at acceptable levels.\\
