Description
Brewlab point this Borders strain at bitters, brown ales and dark Scottish beers on a soft wort, where its strong esters have malt to sit against. Their tasting note claims phenolic character while their own POF test comes back negative, so read that expectation carefully. The slowest starter they measure — six hours in 1040 wort, nine in 1080 — then settles well. Attenuation is our class-typical band; 15–23 °C is Brewlab's range-wide figure.
