Notes:
This beer was an ode to Scotland where I did a year of school, worked at a whisky bar and had a great time! It was also a clone brew from my last brewery in Canada, where the brewmaster at the time was a former member of the 70s bandLindisfarne. Given the history of the island with the Vikings the name was born I dont care if it isnt in Scotland!
The recipe was first brewed using a different malt supplier (Global), which had much milder caramel malts and gave the beer a more mild,sweet flavour. Part of the fjos flavour comes from overly malty/earthy flavour coming from the Caramunich II, which I didnt change quantities from the original recipe.
The peated malt we used originally was of unknown age. The original recipe used less peatedmalt and the smokey flavour was subtle. The Lindisfarne that everyone has tasted had more peated malt in the recipe and the malt was FRESH! This should be a cautionary tale The flavour of peated malt dies down overtime. If you are not sure when it was first made then trust your nose for how strong it is.
For replicating with less types of malt, make sure you get oats in the recipe. The red colour and sweet flavour should come from Caramel malts . If you boil down a portion of the wort you are wasting your time and adding more pyroles to the beer, which can be mistaken for diacetyl in the flavour. The high mash temp is very important for the body to balance the smoke.
