Butterscotch Beer
What it is
Butterscotch Beer is a unique beverage that combines the familiar flavors of butterscotch with the effervescence of beer. It is typically brewed with malts and hops, then infused with natural butterscotch flavoring. This creates a sweet and slightly malty profile with distinct notes of caramel and brown sugar. The carbonation provides a refreshing mouthfeel, making it an interesting alternative to traditional beers.
